The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) and ASPIRE, both entities within the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), have entered into their first research and development (R&D) agreement with ADNOC.
This strategic partnership will focus on leveraging quantum technology to address critical challenges in carbon storage monitoring and battery optimization.
This project marks the initial phase of a broader collaboration encompassing joint initiatives in autonomous robotics, propulsion systems, and cutting-edge technologies for renewable and sustainable energy.
By combining TII‘s expertise in advanced quantum sensing, ASPIRE‘s strategic vision, and ADNOC’s leadership in energy solutions, this collaboration aims to explore the real-world applications and commercialization potential of quantum technology while driving the development of sustainable energy solutions.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions. However, effectively monitoring storage sites remains a significant challenge.
This partnership will utilize TII’s cutting-edge quantum sensing technology to detect subtle environmental changes, such as shifts in magnetic or electrical properties.
