The AURORA consortium involves 12 partners from industry, research, and academia and has considerable involvement of industrial companies. The industrial partners are not only supporting the research but have also committed to directly investing and participating in the project’s R&D and demonstration activities, boosting the credibility of the project’s potential for accelerated decarbonisation of the industry.

Rapid up-scaling and deployment of more cost-efficient and sustainable carbon capture solutions are needed to reduce the emissions of CO2-intensive industries…
