This November (22–25), a group of 28 STEMM-CCS scientists travelled to the beautiful town of Olhão, a few kilometres south of Faro in Portugal. The purpose of the trip was to participate in the Work Package 2 workshop; “Sampling design for baseline data acquisition”. The aim of the workshop was to discuss how environmental baseline surveys, suitable for geological Carbon dioxide Capture and…
Workpackage 3 will focus on “chimney structures” (vertical anomalies in seismic data through an otherwise undisturbed layered seabed, explained here in our partner project) that are believed to be the result of hydro-fracturing and fluid migration. The objective is to study these chimneys with active seismic and…
A three year research fellow position working on acoustic methods for the monitoring of marine carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities as part of the STEMM-CCS project is now open for applications. The position will be based in the Acoustics Group at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of Southampton.
Full details of the position can be found…
STEMM-CCS welcomes three new people in post-doctoral positions at the University of Bergen, Uni Research and Southampton University.
Maribel Garcia-Ibáñez joins us from Spain and will work on the determination of spatial and…
‘Lowest Cost Decarbonisation for the UK: The Critical Role of CCS’ is the title of the report released this week from the UK Parliamentary Advisory Group on CCS led by Lord Oxburgh. Six main recommendations include establishing a new company to deliver full-chain CCS, incentivising industrial CCS and obligating fossil fuel suppliers to store a growing percentage of the CO2 associated with the…
The STEMM-CCS project brochure gives some background information about Carbon Capture and Storage, what the STEMM-CCS project aims to achieve and how we will accomplish this.
It is now available for download here.
Guttorm Alendal from the University of Bergen gave a presentation at a SUCCESS workshop on 27 April, to inform them about the STEMM-CCS project.
SUCCESS (Subsurface CO2 storage – Critial Elements and Superior Strategy) is a centre for environment-friendly energy research (CEER) in Norway (funded by The Research Council of Norway) focusing on Carbon Capture and Storage. The…
Scottish Carbon Capture & Storage (SCCS) Statement on ETI report from UK CO2 storage appraisal study
A report resulting from a UK CO2 storage appraisal study was issued by the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) today. SCCS released the following statement in response to the report.
