today to address carbon capture at scale in the UK .
We ’ ve been selected to provide the turbines for the Teesside Project , which will be the leading carbon capture demonstration project in the world as it moves forward . Our focus has been on developing unique technologies , like sorbent , that can capture carbon at the scale that our turbines operate . Our turbines probably move air faster than any equipment in the world , so this isn ’ t any old carbon capture technology . We have to build the most complex and industrialised carbon capture technology . That ’ s our focus , but that ’ s the only part of it .
We feel very optimistic that we ’ re going to solve carbon capture from our turbines . What we have to work on is creating the whole infrastructure for carbon capture hubs , the pipelines , the storage systems . We only play one part in that and that ’ s why the UK ’ s Teesside Project is so critical – the UK is thinking very holistically , solving problems for the whole system .
Q . LOOKING AHEAD , WHAT EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES OR TRENDS WILL HAVE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON SUSTAINABILITY ACROSS THE ENERGY LANDSCAPE ? HOW SHOULD COMPANIES AND GOVERNMENTS PREPARE TO INTEGRATE THESE INNOVATIONS INTO THEIR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES ?
» As someone who ’ s been doing this for 30 years , it ’ s safe to say we ’ re in a transformative era of action and that
