Clean air blue skies: Capturing gases in a future advanced fuel cycle

摘要

1.Off-gas capture is a crucial consideration for future sustainable fuel cycles and to ensure that a clean air blue sky future can be realised in line with the UN sustainable development aims. 2.Innovation to provide a step change in off-gas capture science is part of the government investment in the Advanced Fuel Cycle Programme (AFCP). 3.The experimental programme, whilst including projects on C-14 and CsTcO_4, is focused on iodine. R&D technological advances are anticipated to bring about reductions in liquid and aerial discharges relative to the current generation of commercial recycle facilities. 4.The cutting-edge science into gaseous capture underpins a sustainable future fuel recycle option that supports the UK's aim for net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and beyond.
