The fifth webinar from the ALIGN-CCUS project looked at the crucial issue of developing the storage networks that will handle CO2 emissions from European clusters of industrial activity.
Our speakers shared results from their work to date, with a focus on:
The 2nd Pre-ACT Stakeholder Workshop will cover the status of and lessons learned from key industrial and research projects on CO2 storage. The event will include participants from industry, research and field laboratories, including research partners from the ALIGN-CCUS project.
This one-day event brings together the storage-focused CCS projects supported through the EU’s Horizon2020 and ACT funding streams to showcase latest research results and developments with special relevance for energy, environment and climate policy.
The event is being organised by the STEMM-CCS project, in collaboration with sister projects in the field of CCS storage research. The aim is to provide a platform for informative dialogue and exchange of ideas between Europe’s leading researchers in the field of carbon storage, industry representatives, and the EC’s decision-makers and policy developers.
Many offshore oil and gas fields in the North Sea region are nearing their end-of-production date. Instead of closing the wells and removing the installations and pipelines, it is possible to reuse the infrastructure for carbon capture and storage (CCS). However, as infrastructure becomes available for reuse today, the CCS industry is not yet in a position to make use of it. As a result, there is a temporal gap between the end of hydrocarbon activities and the start of CO2 storage activities.
The third in our series of project webinars will share the latest findings from studies into the technical feasibility, cost and safety of marine CO2 transport and injection into offshore geological storage sites. The webinar will include talks on the opportunities and challenges of shipping CO2, and work to optimise batch-wise injection of CO2 into storage sites. This work package will ultimately create guidelines for those seeking to develop flexible transport and storage networks.
Research outputs from the ALIGN-CCUS project (Accelerating Low Carbon Industrial Growth through CCUS) will be shared in a variety of ways, including webinars and a final project event. As the project gets under way, details of all events will be posted here. Signing up for the e-newsletter is also a good way to find out about forthcoming events.
