Strategic Partnership Accelerates UK Carbon Capture Innovation
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

💬 One key quote: “CCS has the potential to capture around 1.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually from its two EfW facilities — Riverside 1 and Riverside 2.”
1️⃣ The big picture: Cory Group and Imperial College London have formed a strategic partnership to accelerate advancements in carbon capture and storage technology. This collaboration brings together Cory’s practical industry experience in waste management and energy recovery with Imperial’s academic expertise, particularly from their Chemical Engineering Department which hosts the UK’s largest CCS research program. The partnership aims to drive innovation, create career opportunities, and increase awareness of STEM education in the carbon capture field. A key focus is preparing the next generation of professionals needed to support the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This partnership creates a powerful combination of academic research and real-world industry application that can speed up carbon capture innovation. Students and researchers gain access to practical experience through Cory’s facilities, while the industry benefits from Imperial’s cutting-edge research capabilities. The initiative supports job creation in the growing CCS sector while advancing the UK’s carbon reduction goals. The partnership also helps ensure a pipeline of skilled professionals ready to tackle climate challenges through hands-on training with advanced facilities.
3️⃣ What’s next: Cory plans to implement carbon capture technology at its Riverside energy-from-waste facilities in London, aiming to capture 1.4 million metric tons of CO2 annually. The captured CO2 will be transported by ship to the Port of Immingham for storage in depleted gas fields. Meanwhile, Imperial College will expand access to its Carbon Capture Pilot Plant facility, providing hands-on training opportunities. The partnership will focus on developing innovative CCS solutions while promoting STEM education and career pathways.
