STEMM-CCS researchers will be presenting the latest progress on many aspects of work within the project at the forthcoming GHGT-14 meeting in Melbourne, Australia in October 2018. The biennial GHGT (Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies) conference series is the principal international conference on greenhouse gas mitigation technologies, especially CCS. Participating in this meeting provides…

STEMM-CCS scientists are once again heading to the Goldeneye site in the North Sea to continue baseline studies, prior to the main controlled CO2 release experiment cruises in 2019. Led by Prof. Eric Achterberg aboard the German research ship RV Poseidon, they will depart from Kiel on Wednesday 15 August, returning to Kiel at the beginning of September.

One of the big objectives of the STEMM-CCS project is the 2019 controlled CO₂ release experiment which will be used to test the effectiveness of our developed sensors, technologies and techniques (e.g. chemical, acoustic etc) in the detection and quantification of CO₂.

Cellula Robotics Ltd based in Canada, will design, build and…

Read all about measuring CO2 bubbles in the ocean and using turbulence to detect CO2 emissions as well as how lab on a chip technology is developed in the latest STEMM-CCS newsletter. There's also a review of the 2nd annual meeting, plans for GHGT-14 in Melbourne, Australia and news of upcoming cruises.

The cover story on the latest (Mar–Apr 2018) issue of the Carbon Capture Journal is all about the STEMM-CCS project. The three-page article written by one of our project members, Kelvin Boot, gives the background and aims of the project as well as an overview of some of the work done so far. For example, establishing a baseline, computer modelling of CO₂ bubbles, technological…

On 14–16 March 2018, some 50+ researchers from across the STEMM-CCS partnership gathered in Castelldefels on the NE Spanish coast to share results and discuss progress on the project to date. Now at the half-way point in the project, the teams are beginning to accumulate significant datasets, and are gearing up for another busy cruise season to collect all the baseline data they…

Ben Callow, a postgraduate researcher working on the STEMM-CCS project at the University of Southampton has published a paper which assesses the potential of basalt rock for CO₂ storage via the formation of carbonate minerals. The work was carried out in conjunction with the CarbFix project, which conducted pilot injections…
