BigCCS (completed)

UiO participates in the FME BIGCCS led by Sintef Energy and Materials.

The research task UiO participates in focuses on the development of dense inorganic membranes to be integrated in pre-combustion decarbonisation and oxy-fuel power generation cycles for CO2 capture.

Objectives

The main objective of the BIGCCS Centre is to contribute to the ambitious targets in the Climate agreement in the Norwegian parliament in February 2008. Hence, provide additionality  through promoting CCS.

The BIGCCS Centre will enable sustainable power generation from fossil fuels based on cost-effective CO2 capture, and safe transport and underground storage of CO2.

This will be achieved by building expertise and closing critical knowledge gaps of the CO2 chain, and developing novel technologies in an extensive collaborative research effort.

Financing

The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway, FME BIGCCS, project number 460969.
