Insulation venture Rockwool is collaborating with researchers at Swansea University to capture carbon dioxide gas from its manufacturing processes as part of a multi-million-pound project.
Working with the university’s Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI), Rockwool has installed a new carbon dioxide demonstration unit at its manufacturing plant in Bridgend.
The unit, which will capture carbon dioxide emissions from the production of its insulation products, is being developed as part of the £11.5m Reducing Industrial Carbon Emissions (RICE) project which has been part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government. It is aimed at the deployment of industrial scale demonstrations of new technology.
