Mentions of projects supported by CLIMIT

CO2-fangst

CO₂ Capture

New capture process promises cheaper CCS

Researchers from SINTEF have further developed a new process for CO₂ capture and studied new materials that can effectively separate CO₂ from other gases. The results show great potential for cheaper and more efficient CO₂ capture.

CCS creates new industries

Hydrogen Mem-Tech recently received NOK 170 million in new capital from major Norwegian and international stakeholders. But for the Trondheim-based business – a leader in hydrogen technology – it has been a determined route to this milestone.

Carbon-free power generation – from idea to solution

Industrial gas turbines are used in power plants and as mechanical drives. Today’s industrial gas turbines use fossil fuels such as natural gas or diesel, which causes CO₂ emissions in the exhaust gas.

Science publication: Electrochemical production of hydrogen from natural gas

Proton-conducting membranes enables use of electricity as process energy to produce hydrogen from natural gas with low energy loss and simplified CO₂ capture.

Internationally acclaimed hydrogen project

The ‘PROTONIC Phase II’ project, which received funding from CLIMIT, has now reached its conclusion and its finding have met with international acclaim.

New membrane technology for carbon capture

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has estimated that approx. 3,400 carbon capture facilities will be needed worldwide by 2050 to meet the climate targets of the Paris Agreement. There is therefore a huge need to develop more efficient, cheaper technologies.

CO₂ Storage

Safe CO_₂ storage using traceable noble gases

The University of Oslo has developed a new and effective method of monitoring CO₂ storage sites by measuring the quantity of noble gases in CO₂ streams.

New method of assessing seal integrity early on in the screening phase

In a recently completed CLIMIT-Demo pilot project, Physiq.ai, represented by Torolf Wedberg, worked on a new method that can help to assess the integrity of sealing rocks, even in the exploration phase.

Towards a new CO_₂ deposit on the NCS

The SWAP and SWAP 2 projects confirmed that the CO₂ storage capacity in the Smeaheia area is as significant as expected.

Reducing the risks of CO₂ injection

The purpose of InjectWell is to obtain a better understanding of what happens in the well area when CO₂ is injected into old hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Bacteria shown to help in ensuring safe carbon storage

Researchers at NORCE have shown that bacteria can lead to the formation of solid precipitates that block off potential points of leakage.

Sharing CCS datasets with R&D communities across the globe

An important project focused on sharing experience and key information relevant for upcoming CCS projects.

Various CCS-related

Norwegian experts contribute to international CCS standards

A number of full-scale CCS projects are in development, not only in Norway, but also in the rest of Europe, North America and Asia. International standards will help reduce the barriers and risks these projects have to negotiate on their path to become operational.

‘People need more information about what CCS entails’

‘Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in industry are demanding in both technical and financial terms. But another important factor to take into account is the commitment to projects that affect the wider population.

Researching how Grenland can become climate positive

– Our goal is to specify what it will take to capture CO₂ from all major emitters in Grenland – With the aim of making this industry-focused region climate-positive by 2040. We are well on our way to providing a range of solutions that will give the authorities and industry the basis they need to make their decisions.

CLIMIT support has come in handy for Oslo’s goal of being climate-neutral by 2030

The world is facing major changes and some Norwegian municipalities want to be leading the way. Oslo is one them. Climate change and waste management are two high-priority societal challenges setting clear targets on waste management and the low-carbon economy for the future.

The voyage towards carbon capture

Together with partners, Elkem has instigated a project for testing technology that captures CO₂ from smelters. This is the first time such technology is applied to flue gas emissions in the ferroalloy industry.

Clean waste incineration

Combustion of waste produces large amounts of CO₂ that is emitted directly to the atmosphere. Statkraft’s plant at Heimdal gives off 240 000 tonnes annually.

CLIMIT support means Preem is ready for CCS

CLIMIT, together with the Swedish authorities, has supported Preem, one of Sweden’s largest CO₂ emitters.

CLIMIT R&D: support for three social science projects

CLIMIT’s portfolio is expanding, and new research groups are sharing their knowledge with the “CCS World” within social science related to CCS.
