As the world fights to tackle climate change, securing affordable, net-zero energy stands out as a paramount engineering task for ensuring a future for our and next generations. Among the pivotal technologies necessary to direct energy systems toward sustainability and net-zero emissions is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). CCS comprises several technologies which involve capturing CO2 from major point sources, followed by compression and transportation to appropriate underground reservoirs for either sequestration or enhanced oil recovery. The deployment of advanced CCS systems faces significant challenges due to the diverse nature of CO2 sources, the complex composition of gas streams, and the multitude of factors influencing capture efficiency. Effectively addressing these challenges is essential for establishing globally applicable, cost-effective CCS operations capable of fulfilling their objectives in reducing CO2 emissions. Throughout the entirety of the CCS process chain, the issue of degradation is the major concern. Understanding and mitigating these degradation issues remain challenging yet essential for ensuring the integrity and longevity of CCS systems.

The goal of the MISSION-CCS project is to pioneer a corrosion science-driven approach based on the academic and industrial consortium expertise that comprehensively examines the degradation mechanisms of materials and solvents crucial to CCS technologies. This objective entails the development of innovative testing systems, methodologies, and technologies tailored for assessing material degradation within CCS contexts
