The aCQurate project has developed methods for quantifying important operational parameters related to how to inject CO₂.

Representatives from academia and industry from the US and Norway gathered for two days in Washington DC.

The aim of the LCO₂-EP  project was to qualify the technology for future CO₂ transport. KNCC has examined its technology in connection with both conversions and new constructions.

Primo October 2023 the ACT consortium held a successful Workshop in Paris.

CLIMIT visited the University of Southeast Norway (USN) in September to have a look at Moreld Minox’s compact CO₂ capture technology.

The CLIMIT secretariat is constantly updating its project portfolio and we are adding new project reviews.

The SENSE project investigated how new monitoring techniques can contribute to safer CO₂ storage. Promising results have emerged which may have international significance.

CO₂ adsorption is a promising technology option for capturing CO₂. Some of the benefits can be lower energy consumption, a reduced CO₂ footprint and fewer expensive investments.

The ACT Consortium is holding a two-day event: 7th. ACT Knowledge Sharing Workshop, on 4 and 5, October 2023 in Paris. The focus of the workshop is to share knowledge, experiences and results.

It is not often within the CLIMIT Demo program that we can announce completion of a new doctoral degree. Ron Jacob has contributed significantly to the ELSE project (Electrified Cement Industry), and the results derived from his work hold relevanc...

The HNET project develops a unique method based on knowledge and technology that already exists.

The company Equanostic has developed new technology based on ultrasound that can check that the cementation in CO₂ wells is tight. This is an important innovation when CO₂ is to be stored in large volumes.

The IEAGHG ExCo had its spring meeting on 17-18 May in Bali in Indonesia with Institute Technology Bandung (ITB) as host.

Clean Energy Transition Platform (CETP) is a new international collaboration for research and innovation within low-carbon energy technologies, including CCS. Highlights will be shown at the upcoming annual conference 24-25 October.

Cement factories can reduce their CO₂ emissions considerably by adopting technology for CCS. An international R&D project shows that so-called oxyfuel technology can be the solution of the future.

Yet another pilot has started testing of carbon capture on real flue gas from an industrial plant. Returkraft’s waste incineration plant in Kristiansand is testing Air Products’ membrane technology.

Affordable and flexible monitoring systems for CO₂ storage are important for successful deployment of CCS value chains.

Existing flow meters do not meet all technical measurement requirements for measuring the mass flow of CO₂ in future large scale CCS chains.

In order to confront climate challenges, we will need to store significant volumes of CO₂. The North Sea has an immense theoretical storage capacity.

The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) is setting up a new call for R&D applications. CCS is one of many topics that are prioritized in this call.

The project (621269) awarded NOK 4.9 million in support in October 2021. Project owner DNV started up the project in March 2022 with partners Equinor, Shell, Gassco and TotalEnergies. IFE and Wood are involved as subcontractors.

The capture and storage of CO₂ is seen as one of many solutions to mitigate severe climate change.

As the name suggests, this project will carry out a technology qualification of low-pressure CO₂ ship transport. The project is being led by DNV in collaboration with the following partners: Equinor, Shell, TotalEnergies and Gassco.

This report examines existing patent data in the field of carbon capture technology and has been jointly prepared by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office and Gassnova.

“International cooperation on CCS research and technology development will be even more important in the years ahead. The CLIMIT Programme gives us the opportunity to play a meaningful role.”

A number of IEAGHG reports were completed in 2022, two regarding carbon storage and two regarding carbon capture. You can read more about them below.

The CLIMIT Award recognises champions of CCS who have gone above and beyond over the years to achieve CLIMIT’s objectives. The inaugural prize was awarded during CLIMIT SUMMIT 2023, which took place in Larvik 7–9 February, and was shared by two wi...

Close to 250 researchers and industry stakeholders from 11 countries around the world gathered at the CLIMIT SUMMIT conference held on 7–9 February to share and exchange the latest knowledge on carbon capture and storage (CCS).

More than 240 people will come together in Larvik over 7–9 February. Out of these, a total of 70 experts will deliver presentations.

“The shortage of expertise may be an obstacle to building a large and viable CCS industry. That is one reason why it is important for public authorities to continue providing resources for research and development in this field”, says Marianne Ryg...

“I don’t believe that we can just put skilled researchers into a locked room and ask them to create technologies for a fraction of the cost for a full-scale plant that needs to be built.

“Research and development are also about discovering things and excluding ideas that are going nowhere. This means CLIMIT also has to support projects that might seem interesting to begin with, but that actually turn out to be not so promising aft...

“Now that a number of large carbon capture and storage projects are getting underway both at home and abroad, research must be concentrated on learning from the processes and developing even better and more cost-effective technologies.

Horisont Energi plans to locate the land- based CO₂ terminal for the Errai carbon capture and storage project to Gismarvik in Rogaland, where Haugaland Næringspark has one of Norway’s largest industrial areas.
