Partners in the Sleipner field will disclose datasets from the world's first offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) plant, in a push to advance innovation and development on the field of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage, Norwegian energy company Equinor announced on Wednesday…
Equinor has won a license to develop carbon dioxide (CO2) storage under the North Sea, Norway's oil ministry said on Friday, part of a push to combat climate change.Equinor is expected to submit a development plan this year, with parliament making a final decision in 2020 or 2021…
The U.K. Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) announced Thursday it has awarded its first carbon dioxide (CO2) appraisal and storage license as an independent regulator.The award has been made to Pale Blue Dot Energy (Acorn) Ltd (PBD) for the Acorn Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project…
A group of private firms and universities from the Netherlands and the UK have been given funding to undertake a feasibility study into permanent CO2 capture and storage (CCS) in empty gas and oil fields in the North Sea. Under the Acorn CCS project…
Scientists at the University of Strathclyde have secured funding for a four-year project to study the ability of complex rock strata beneath the North Sea to trap carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) securely. Their findings will help to provide…
A feasibility study report says full-scale carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS) in Norway could be achieved by 2022. The study, by Norway's Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, sets out to identify at least one technically feasible CCS chain with corresponding cost estimates…
A new report produced for the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) says there are no technical hurdles to permanently and safely storing large quantities of CO2 deep underground off the coast of the UK. There is also the potential for…
Norway's Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has signed an agreement with Statoil on a feasibility study regarding CO2 storage on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). The study will include various development concepts for storing CO2 at three different locations on the NCS…
The secure and permanent storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) within a single geological storage formation can be optimised by injecting CO2 at more than one point simultaneously, according to results from an innovative study of rocks beneath the UK North Sea…
UK engineering Costain has been selected to work in a project to identify UK offshore CO2 storage sites as part of a project commissioned by the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI). The 12-month project started in May and is funded by the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC)…
