The lecture: "No Seal, no Deal – Evaluating seal quality of CO2 storage sites, offshore Norway", was helt by Md Nazmul Haque Mondol, Professor at Dept of Geosciences, on the 18. October 2023. The recorded GeoWednesday lecture is now available and can be seen on YouTube.
Dedicated students in their final year of Elvebakken High School visited the University of Oslo, Department of GeoScience. Where three of our Master students gave them an insight in the study of geology and geophysics and the job opertunities that come with this line of research.
Tøyen Park was alive with activity for all ages. Activities ranged from building a life size dinosaur from artificial dinosaur bones, demonstrating rock faults using a sponge cake, to blowing up balloons using bicarbonate of soda mixed with vinegar to produce CO2.
For fast track Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
Rikke Bruhn and Sian Evans, explained how Norway is paving the way towards commercial full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS)
On 9 June 2022, NCCS gathered its PhD and Postdoc students together in Trondheim for the centre’s first Student Seminar Day. The day's program and seminar had presentations. There were also room for discussion, networking and gathering.
The CO2 Storage research group at the Departmenet of Geosciences is on Social Media under the name CO2_day. This is an outreach effort from us about all happening in the group of common interest, so if you are interested in our research on CO2 storage follow us there.
Several of Norway’s legal experts on CCS deployment took to the podium at the Science Libray on Thursday 14.11.19 at the “Outside the BoCCS” seminar. The seminar was streamed, find the link here.
Invited lecture about CO2 storage from Ingrid Anell and Mark Mulrooney at the 3rd international OHG conference: “Make our Planet Great Again”.
Researcher Mark Mulrooney have written a blog post about: Fault and fracture stability: A caprock integrity analysis and NCCS mobility program, in the #SINTEFblog.
“Let’s Talk Energy” seminars is hosted by UiO: Energy. At the seminar 31.03.22 two master's student studying CCS Dept of Geosciences had an Introduction to Carbon and Capture and Storage (CCS) on the programme.
Nora Holden and Maren Bruflodt Løge, tell their experience.
Master students in Geosciences Kristoffer Sundsmoen and Jørgen Kalaoja introduce CCS and studies in geosciences to School leavers from VGS at UiO's Open Day.
Getting to grips with the bigger picture. NCCS Consortium Days 2021 is the annual meeting place for all patrners and members.
In June 2020 a team of six scientist in porous media research started up a webinar and YouTube channel for young researchers in porous media/CCS. The new effort for online presentations, contact and networking within the group of scientists from several countries make it possible to interact efficient without the need of travelling.
Fagmiljøet for CO2 håndtering ved Institutt for geofag ledet av Per Aagaard og Alvar Braathen, kan nå glede seg over å bli partner i et nytt FME. Det nye senteret er et samarbeid bl.a med UiOs Nordisk institutt for sjørett m.fl. og Sintef Energi er vertsinstitusjon.
Den tryggeste formen for CO2-lagring er mineralisering av klimagassen i stein. Dette er også en naturlig prosess som vil skje i de fleste CO2-reservoarer. Forskerne i forskningssenteret SUCCESS ved Institutt for geofag ønsker å forstå hvor raskt denne prosessen skjer. Les intervju med forsker Helge Hellevang på nettstedet geoforskning.no.
