"The capture and management of carbon will be an issue for many of our clients over the coming years and our partnership with Imperial College will keep us at the forefront of developments in clean energy technologies".
"In turn, input from the hydrocarbon industry will provide invaluable guidance for the research and teaching efforts at Imperial College and the commercialisation of these technologies".
Professor Stephen Richardson, head of Imperial's Department of Chemical Engineering, said: "We are delighted to enter into this partnership with Foster Wheeler which provides our new Foster Wheeler-Research Councils UK Fellow with a strong, informed industrial mentor and enhances the Department's ability to anticipate key industrial and engineering challenges in the clean fuels-energy sector".
