During the two day meeting, Maribel García-Ibáñez and Anna Oleynik from the University of Bergen, and Marius Dewar from Heriot-Watt University all presented posters of their latest work and results. In addition, Maribel represented the whole STEMM-CCS project and gave an update on our latest developments during the ‘Monitoring offshore CO2 storage/EOR’ session chaired by Katherine Romanak. She was also a member of the  discussion panel held at the end of the session.

Sessions were also held on value chains for offshore, infrastructure, offshore CO₂ storage resource assessment and standards and regulatory frameworks. A brainstorming activity looking at the technical criteria and possible funding mechanisms for an international collaborative project was also conducted. The meeting concluded with a site visit to the Klemetsrud energy recovery plant.
