The Global CCS Institute hosted the final webinar of its "Telling the Norwegian CCS Story" series which presented Northern Lights. This project is part of the Norwegian full-scale CCS project which will include the capture of CO2 at two industrial facilities (cement and waste-to-energy plants), transport and permanent storage of CO2 in a geological reservoir on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Northern Lights aims to establish an open access CO2 transport and storage service for Europe. It is the first integrated commercial project of its kind able to receive CO2 from a variety of industrial sources. The project is led by Equinor with two partners Shell and Total. Northern Lights aims to drive the development of CCS in Europe and globally.
The Peterhead Carbon Capture and Storage Project - plenary presentation given by Owain Tucker at the UKCCSRC Cardiff Biannual Meeting, 10-11 September 2014
Shell, with strategic support from SSE, are looking to develop the world’s first full-scale gas carbon capture and storage (CCS) project – the Peterhead CCS Project. The proposed project would see 10 to 15 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions captured from the Peterhead Power Station in the North East of Scotland and transported by pipeline offshore for geological storage deep under the North Sea.
In March 2013, the Peterhead CCS Project was chosen as one of two CCS demonstration projects in the UK to progress to the next stage of the UK Government’s CCS Commercialisation Competition funding. This funding allowed the Project to progress through the detailed design phase known as Front-End Engineering Design, or FEED.
Now, as the Project nears the end of this FEED phase of development, we were delighted to have Peterhead’s Business Opportunity Manager, Bill Spence join us for this webinar. In addition to giving an overview of the project and an update on recent developments, Bill also painted a picture of how this proposed project fits into Shell’s overall global CCS programme.
Decarbonizing Industry Using Carbon Capture: Norway Full Chain CCSGlobal CCS Institute
Industrial sectors such as steel, cement, iron, and chemicals production are responsible for over 20 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To be on track to meet greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets established as part of the Paris Climate Accord, all sectors must find solutions to rapidly decarbonize, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is the only path for energy-intensive industries.
This webinar will explore how one country, Norway, is working to realize a large-scale Full Chain CCS project, where it is planning to apply carbon capture technology to several industrial facilities. This unique project explores capturing CO2 from three different industrial facilities - an ammonia production plant, a waste-to-energy plant, and a cement production facility. Captured CO2 will be then transported by ship to a permanent off-shore storage site operated as part of a collaboration between Statoil, Total, and Shell. When operational, Norway Full Chain CCS will capture and permanently store up to 1.5 million tons of CO2 per year.
During this webinar, Michael Carpenter, Senior Adviser at Gassnova, will provide an overview of the Norway Full Chain CCS, and discuss the value that Norway aims to derive from it. The key stakeholders working on this exciting project, and how they cooperate, will be also discussed. Gassnova is a Norwegian state enterprise focusing on CCS technology, which manages the Norway Full Chain CCS project.
The Asia CCUS Network has been successfully launched on 22-23 June 2021 with initially 13 countries (all ASEAN member countries, the United States, Australia, and Japan) and more than 100 international organisations, companies, financial and research institutions that share the vision of CCUS development throughout the Asian region.
The Network members have expressed their intention to participate to share the vision of the Asia CCUS Network that aims to contribute to the decarbonisation of emissions in Asia through collaboration and cooperation on development and deployment of CCUS.
The Asia CCUS Network provides opportunities for countries in the region to work and collaborate on the low emission technology partnership that will eventually help to build countries’ capability to lower the cost of CCUS technology and its deployment through the collaboration of research and innovation.
At the 2nd Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference, the Asia CCUS Network is very pleased to invite experts from the Department of Energy, United States of America (USDOE) to share their insights and experiences about CCUS development and policy to support the deployment of CCUS technology.
The ACN will be an active forum to bridge the knowledge gap on CCUS technologies, policy development to support the development and deployment of CCUS in Asia. Thus, this conference hosted in collaboration with IEA will help to bring in update knowledge, opportunity for investment in CCUS in Asia.

January 2024. Carbon Capture is the process of capturing Carbon Dioxide gas (CO2) produced by industrial processes, preventing its release into the atmosphere.
The primary goal of carbon capture is to reduce carbon emissions, because carbon dioxide is the primary Greenhouse Gas (GHG) contributing to climate change.
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), also known as (CCS), refers to a suite of technologies that perform carbon capture.
CCUS involves four stages: capture, transport, storage, and use.
CCUS technologies include Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), carbon sequestration, Direct Air Capture (DAC), and carbon absorption by Ammonia.
Policy wise, growing recognition of CCUS role in meeting net zero goals is translating into increased policy support for CCUS deployment. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have outlined an important role for CCUS to reach net zero emissions by 2050, directly supporting Sustainable Development Goal SDG13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, technologies, benefits, challenges, UN policy, and global statistics of carbon capture. Discover how CCUS technologies can reduce global carbon emissions by up to 90% to accelerate the clean energy transition and meet net zero emission goals by 2050.
The Global CCS Institute and USEA co-hosted a briefing on the importance of R&D in advancing energy technologies on June 29 2017. This is the presentation given by Ron Munson, Global Lead-Capture at the Global CCS Institute.
Barry Jones, General Manager - Asia Pacific for the Global CCS Institute, provides an overview of carbon capture and storage technology including its rationale and a summary of current projects. The presentation also examines impediments to its deployment and recommendations for how to overcome them.

Last week, the UK’s Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) published the results of its 12-month, £2.5million CO2 Storage Appraisal Project, Progressing development of the UK’s Strategic Carbon Dioxide Storage Resource.
The Project, funded by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change and carried out by Pale Blue Dot Energy, Axis Well Technology and Costain, confirmed that there are no technical hurdles to permanently storing large volumes of CO2 in offshore geological storage off the coast of the UK, including sites large enough to comfortably service CO2 supplies from mainland Europe.
Over the course of 12 months this ambitious Project identified 20 specific CO2 storage sites (from a potential 579 sites) which together represent the tip of a very large strategic national CO2 storage resource potential, estimated to be around 78GT (78,000 million tonnes).
Five of these sites were then selected for further detailed analysis given their potential contribution to mobilise commercial-scale CCS projects for power and industrial use in the UK.
This Webinar provided an opportunity to dig deeper into the wealth of comprehensive data and modelling that has been made publically available through the publishing of this report, and to consider its significance for helping to de-risk future CCS investment decisions.
To expertly guide us through this process, the Global CCS Institute was delighted to welcome Andrew Green, Programme Manager - Carbon Capture & Storage at the ETI, and Alan James, Managing Director at Pale Blue Dot Energy (the Consortium Lead for this project) to join us for the webinar.
After an overview of the Project and a more detailed look at the final outcomes, Andrew and Alan were joined by subject matter specialists: Steve Murphy – Pale Blue Dot Energy, Angus Reid – Costain, and Sharon McCollough – Axis Well Technologies, for a live Q&A session for the second half of the webinar.

In 2018, the Norwegian government announced its decision to continue the planning of a demonstration project for CO2 capture, transport and storage. This webinar focuses on the Fortum Oslo Varme CCS project. This is one of the two industrial CO2 sources in the Norwegian full-scale project.
At their waste-to-energy plant at Klemetsrud in Oslo, Fortum Oslo Varme produces electricity and district heating for the Oslo region by incinerating waste. Its waste-to-energy plant is one of the largest land-based sources of CO2 emissions in Norway, counting for about 20 % of the city of Oslo’s total emissions. The CCS project in Oslo is an important step towards a sustainable waste system and the creation of a circular economy. It will be the first energy recovery installation for waste disposal treatment with full-scale CCS.
Fortum Oslo Varme has understood the enormous potential for the development of a CCS industry in the waste-to-energy industry. The company is working to capture 90 % of its CO2 emissions, the equivalent of 400 000 tons of CO2 per year. This project will open new opportunities to reduce emissions from the waste sector in Norway and globally. Carbon capture from waste incineration can remove over 90 million tons of CO2 per year from existing plants in Europe. There is high global transfer value and high interest in the industry for the project in Oslo.
The waste treated consists of almost 60 % biological carbon. Carbon capture at waste-to-energy plants will therefore be so-called BIO-CCS (i.e. CCS from the incineration of organic waste, thereby removing the CO2 from the natural cycle).

Cutting Cost of CO2 Capture in Process Industry (CO2stCap) Project overview &...Global CCS Institute
The CO2StCap project is a four year initiative carried out by industry and academic partners with the aim of reducing capture costs from CO2 intensive industries (more info here). The project, led by Tel-Tek, is based on the idea that cost reduction is possible by capturing only a share of the CO2emissions from a given facility, instead of striving for maximized capture rates. This can be done in multiple ways, for instance by capturing only from the largest CO2 sources at individual multi-stack sites utilising cheap waste heat or adapting the capture volumes to seasonal changes in operations.
The main focus of this research is to perform techno-economic analyses for multiple partial CO2 capture concepts in order to identify economic optimums between cost and volumes captured. In total for four different case studies are developed for cement, iron & steel, pulp & paper and ferroalloys industries.
The first part of the webinar gave an overview of the project with insights into the cost estimation method used. The second part presented the iron & steel industry case study based on the Lulea site in Sweden, for which waste-heat mapping methodology has been used to assess the potential for partial capture via MEA-absorption. Capture costs for different CO2 sources were compared and discussed, demonstrating the viability of partial capture in an integrated steelworks.
Webinar presenters included Ragnhild Skagestad, senior researcher at Tel-Tek; Maximilian Biermann, PhD student at Division of Energy Technology, Chalmers University of Technology and Maria Sundqvist, research engineer at the department of process integration at Swerea MEFOS.

Mission Innovation aims to reinvigorate and accelerate global clean energy innovation with the objective to make clean energy widely affordable. Through a series of Innovation Challenges, member countries have pledged to support actions aimed at accelerating research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) in technology areas where MI members believe increased international attention would make a significant impact in our shared fight against climate change. The Innovation Challenges cover the entire spectrum of RD&D; from early stage research needs assessments to technology demonstration projects.
The Carbon Capture Innovation challenge aims to explore early stage research opportunities in the areas of Carbon Capture, Carbon Utilization, and Carbon Storage. The goal of the Carbon Capture Innovation Challenge is twofold: first, to identify and prioritize breakthrough technologies; and second, to recommend research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) pathways and collaboration mechanisms.
During the webinar, Dr Tidjani Niass, Saudi Aramco, and Jordan Kislear, US Department of Energy, provided an overview of progress to date. They also highlighted detail opportunities for business and investor engagement, and discuss future plans for the Innovation Challenge.
Karl Hausker, PhD, Senior Fellow, Climate Program, World Resources Institute, is the leader of the analytic and writing team for the latest study by the Risky Business Project: From Risk to Return: Investing in a Clean Energy Economy. Co-Chairs Michael Bloomberg, Henry Paulson, Jr, and Thomas Steyer tasked the World Resources Institute with this independent assessment of technically and economically feasible pathways that the US could follow to achieve an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050. These pathways involve mixtures of: energy efficiency, renewable energy, nuclear power, carbon capture and storage, increased carbon sequestration in US lands, and reductions in non-CO2 emissions. These pathways rely on commercial or near-commercial technologies that American companies are adopting and developing.
Dr Hausker presented the results of the study and draw some comparisons to the US Mid Century Strategy report submitted to the UNFCCC. He has worked for 30 years in the fields of climate change, energy, and environment in a career that has spanned legislative and executive branches, research institutions, NGOs, and consulting.
This webinar offered a unique opportunity to learn more about various decarbonization scenarios and to address your questions directly to Dr Hausker.
Webinar Series: Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum Part 1. CCUS in the Uni...Global CCS Institute
The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) is a Ministerial-level international climate change initiative that is focused on the development of improved cost-effective technologies for carbon capture and storage (CCS). As part of our commitment to raising awareness of CCS policies and technology, CSLF, with support from the Global CCS Institute, is running a series of webinars showcasing academics and researchers that are working on some of the most interesting CCS projects and developments from around the globe.
This first webinar comes to you from Abu Dhabi – the site of the Mid-Year CSLF Meeting and home of the Al Reyadah Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) Project. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the world’s major oil exporters, with some of the highest levels of CO2 emissions per capita. These factors alone make this a very interesting region for the deployment of CCUS both as an option for reducing CO2 emissions, but also linking these operations for the purposes of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations.
In the UAE, CCUS has attracted leading academic institutes and technology developers to work on developing advanced technologies for reducing CO2 emissions. On Wednesday, 26th April, we had the opportunity to join the Masdar Institute’s Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Mohammad Abu Zahra to learn about the current status and potential for CCUS in the UAE.
Mohammad presented an overview of the current large scale CCUS demonstration project in the UAE, followed by a presentation and discussion of the ongoing research and development activities at the Masdar Institute.
This webinar offered a rare opportunity to put your questions directly to this experienced researcher and learn more about the fascinating advances being made at the Masdar Institute.
Energy Security and Prosperity in Australia: A roadmap for carbon capture and...Global CCS Institute
On 15 February, a Roadmap titled for Energy Security and Prosperity in Australia: A roadmap for carbon capture and storage was released. The ACCS Roadmap contains analysis and recommendations for policy makers and industry on much needed efforts to ensure CCS deployment in Australia.
This presentation focused on the critical role CCS can play in Australia’s economic prosperity and energy security. To remain within its carbon budget, Australia must accelerate the deployment of CCS. Couple with this, only CCS can ensure energy security for the power sector and high-emissions industries whilst maintain the the vital role the energy sector plays in the Australian economy.
The webinar also detailed what is required to get Australia ready for widespread commercial deployment of CCS through specific set of phases, known as horizons in strategic areas including storage characterisation, legal and regulatory frameworks and public engagement and awareness.
The Roadmap serves as an important focal point for stakeholders advocating for CCS in Australia, and will provide a platform for further work feeding into the Australian Government’s review of climate policy in 2017 and beyond.
It is authored by the University of Queensland and Gamma Energy Technology, and was overseen by a steering committee comprising the Commonwealth Government, NSW Government, CSIRO, CO2CRC Limited, ACALET - COAL21 Fund and ANLEC R&D.
This webinar was presented by Professor Chris Greig, from The University of Queensland.

The fifth webinar in the public engagement, education and outreach for CCS Series will explore the critically important subject of social site characterisation with the very researchers who named the process.
We were delighted to be able to reunite CCS engagement experts Sarah Wade and Sallie Greenberg, Ph.D. to revisit their 2011 research and guidance: ‘Social Site Characterisation: From Concept to Application’. When published, this research and toolkit helped early CCS projects worldwide to raise the bar on their existing engagement practices. For this webinar, we tasked these early thought leaders with reminding us of the importance of this research and considering the past recommendations in today’s context. Sarah and Sallie tackled the following commonly asked questions:
What exactly is meant by social site characterisation?
Why it is important?
What would they consider best practice for getting to understand the social intricacies and impacts of a CCS project site?
This entire Webinar Series has been designed to share leading research and best practice and consider these learnings as applied to real project examples. So for this fifth Webinar, we were really pleased to be joined by Ruth Klinkhammer, Senior Manager, Communications and Engagement at CMC Research Institutes. Ruth agreed to share some of her experiences and challenges of putting social site characterisation into practice onsite at some of CMC’s larger research projects.
This Webinar combined elements of public engagement research with real world application and discussion, explore important learnings and conclude with links to further resources for those wishing to learn more. This a must for anyone working in or studying carbon capture and storage or other CO2 abatement technologies. If you have ever nodded along at a conference where the importance of understanding stakeholders is acknowledged, but then stopped to wonder – what might that look like in practice? This Webinar is for you.
Managing carbon geological storage and natural resources in sedimentary basinsGlobal CCS Institute
To highlight the research and achievements of Australian researchers, the Global CCS Institute, together with Australian National Low Emissions Coal Research and Development (ANLEC R&D), will hold a series of webinars throughout 2017. Each webinar will highlight a specific ANLEC R&D research project and the relevant report found on the Institute’s website.
This is the eighth webinar of the series and will present on basin resource management and carbon storage. With the ongoing deployment of CCS facilities globally, the pore space - the voids in the rock deep in sedimentary basins – are now a commercial resource. This is a relatively new concept with only a few industries utilising that pore space to date.
This webinar presented a framework for the management of basin resources including carbon storage. Prospective sites for geological storage of carbon dioxide target largely sedimentary basins since these provide the most suitable geological settings for safe, long-term storage of greenhouse gases. Sedimentary basins can host different natural resources that may occur in isolated pockets, across widely dispersed regions, in multiple locations, within a single layer of strata or at various depths.
In Australia, the primary basin resources are groundwater, oil and gas, unconventional gas, coal and geothermal energy. Understanding the nature of how these resources are distributed in the subsurface is fundamental to managing basin resource development and carbon dioxide storage. Natural resources can overlap laterally or with depth and have been developed successfully for decades. Geological storage of carbon dioxide is another basin resource that must be considered in developing a basin-scale resource management system to ensure that multiple uses of the subsurface can sustainably and pragmatically co-exist.
This webinar was presented by Karsten Michael, Research Team Leader, CSIRO Energy.
Mercury and other trace metals in the gas from an oxy-combustion demonstratio...Global CCS Institute
To highlight the research and achievements of Australian researchers, the Global CCS Institute together with ANLEC R&D will hold a series of webinars throughout 2017. Each webinar will highlight a specific ANLEC R&D research project and the relevant report found on the Institute’s website. This is the seventh webinar of the series and presented the results of a test program on the retrofitted Callide A power plant in Central Queensland.
The behaviour of trace metals and the related characteristics of the formation of fine particles may have important implications for process options, gas cleaning, environmental risk and resultant cost in oxy-fuel combustion. Environmental and operational risk will be determined by a range of inter-related factors including:
The concentrations of trace metals in the gas produced from the overall process;
Capture efficiencies of the trace species in the various air pollution control devices used in the process; including gas and particulate control devices, and specialised systems for the removal of specific species such as mercury;
Gas quality required to avoid operational issues such as corrosion, and to enable sequestration in a variety of storage media without creating unacceptable environmental risks; the required quality for CO2 transport will be defined by (future and awaited) regulation but may be at the standards currently required of food or beverage grade CO2; and
Speciation of some trace elements
Macquarie University was engaged by the Australian National Low Emissions Coal Research and Development Ltd (ANLEC R&D) to investigate the behaviour of trace elements during oxy-firing and CO2 capture and processing in a test program on the retrofitted Callide A power plant, with capability for both oxy and air-firing. Gaseous and particulate sampling was undertaken in the process exhaust gas stream after fabric filtration at the stack and at various stages of the CO2 compression and purification process. These measurements have provided detailed information on trace components of oxy-fired combustion gases and comparative measurements under air fired conditions. The field trials were supported by laboratory work where combustion took place in a drop tube furnace and modelling of mercury partitioning using the iPOG model.
The results obtained suggest that oxy-firing does not pose significantly higher environmental or operational risks than conventional air-firing. The levels of trace metals in the “purified” CO2 gas stream should not pose operational issues within the CO2 Processing Unit (CPU).

Teesside Collective has been developing a financial support mechanism to kickstart an Industrial Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) network in the UK. This project would transform the Teesside economy, which could act as a pilot area in the UK as part of the Government’s Industrial Strategy.
The final report– produced by Pöyry Management Consulting in partnership with Teesside Collective – outlines how near-term investment in CCS can be a cost-effective, attractive proposition for both Government and energy-intensive industry.
The report was published on Teesside Collective’s website on 7 February. You will be able to view copies of the report in advance of the webinar.
We were delighted to welcome Sarah Tennison from Tees Valley Combined Authority back onto the webinar programme. Sarah was joined by Phil Hare and Stuart Murray from Pöyry Management Consulting, to take us through the detail of the model and business case for Industrial CCS.
This webinar offered a rare opportunity to speak directly with these project developers and understand more about their proposed financial support mechanism.
Laboratory-scale geochemical and geomechanical testing of near wellbore CO2 i...Global CCS Institute
To highlight the research and achievements of Australian researchers, the Global CCS Institute together with ANLEC R&D will hold a series of webinars throughout 2016 and 2017. Each webinar will highlight a specific ANLEC R&D research project and the relevant report found on the Institute’s website. This is the sixth webinar of the series and presented the results of chemical and mechanical changes that carbon dioxide (CO2) may have at a prospective storage complex in the Surat Basin, Queensland, Australia.
Earth Sciences and Chemical Engineering researchers at the University of Queensland have been investigating the effects of supercritical CO2 injection on reservoir properties in the near wellbore region as a result of geochemical reactions since 2011. The near wellbore area is critical for CO2 injection into deep geological formations as most of the resistance to flow occurs in this region. Any changes to the permeability can have significant economic impact in terms of well utilisation efficiency and compression costs. In the far field, away from the well, the affected reservoir is much larger and changes to permeability through blocking or enhancement have relatively low impact.
This webinar was presented by Prof Sue Golding and Dr Grant Dawson and will provide an overview of the findings of the research to assist understanding of the beneficial effects and commercial consequences of near wellbore injectivity enhancement as a result of geochemical reactions.
Webinar Series: Public engagement, education and outreach for CCS. Part 3: Ca...Global CCS Institute
The third webinar in the public engagement, education and outreach for CCS Series digged deeper, perhaps multiple kilometres deeper, to explore successful methods for engaging the public on the often misunderstood topic of carbon (CO2) storage.
Forget bad experiences of high school geology, we kick-started our 2017 webinar program with three ‘rock stars’ of CO2 storage communication – Dr Linda Stalker, Science Director of Australia’s National Geosequestration Laboratory, Lori Gauvreau, Communication and Engagement Specialist for Schlumberger Carbon Services, and Norm Sacuta, Communication Manager at the Petroleum Technology Research Centre who all joined Kirsty Anderson, the Institute’s Senior Advisor on Public Engagement, to discuss the challenges of communicating about CO2 storage. They shared tips, tools and some creative solutions for getting people engaged with this topic.
This entire Webinar Series has been designed to hear directly from the experts and project practitioners researching and delivering public engagement, education and outreach best practice for carbon capture and storage. This third webinar was less focused on research and more on the real project problems and best practice solutions. It is a must for anyone interested in science communication/education and keen to access resources and ideas to make their own communications more engaging.
Water use of thermal power plants equipped with CO2 capture systemsGlobal CCS Institute
The potential for increased water use has often been noted as a challenge to the widespread deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Early studies, that are widely referenced and cited in discussions of CCS, indicated that installation of a capture system would nearly double water consumption for thermal power generation, while more recent studies show different results. The Global CCS Institute has conducted a comprehensive review of data available in order to clarify messages around water consumption associated with installation of a capture system. Changes in water use estimates over time have been evaluated in terms of capture technology, cooling systems, and how the data are reported.
Guido Magneschi, Institute’s Senior Advisor – Carbon Capture, and co-author of the study, presented the results of the review and illustrated the main conclusions.
Global Status of CCS: 2016. Saline Aquifer Storage Performance at the Quest C...Global CCS Institute
The Global CCS Institute launched The Global Status of CCS: 2016 at a dedicated event at the 22nd conference of the parties (COP 22) in Marrakech on Tuesday, 15 November.
The Global Status of CCS: 2016 report is an essential reference for industry, government, research bodies, and the broader community, providing a comprehensive overview of global and regional CCS developments.
Following the report launch, we will run a number of webinars commencing in November 2016, through to early 2017.
A Summary of the Global Status of CCS: 2016 will be accessible on our website from 15 November, and includes updates on key CCS facilities, including two major facilities now in operation:
Shell’s Quest Project in Canada
Tomakomai CCS Demonstration Project in Japan
These projects are significant 2016 milestones and testament to the safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness of CCS as an integral technology to meeting Paris Agreement climate change targets.
Please join us for the first of the Global Status of CCS: 2016 webinar series.
Saline Aquifer Storage Performance at the Quest CCS Project
As one of a handful of large-scale CCS projects currently injecting CO2 into a dedicated saline aquifer storage site, Shell’s Quest project offers a unique case study into the performance of dedicated storage. The Quest project injects CO2 into the Basal Cambrian Sandstone located 2 km below the surface. After the first year of operations, the Quest reservoir has exceeded internal expectations. While the original premise called for eight wells, today only two of three constructed injection wells take 100 per cent of project volumes (~140 tonnes /hr).
In this webinar, Simon O’Brien, Shell Quest Subsurface Manager, discussed storage performance at Quest after one year of operations as well as early results from the measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) plan.
CarbonNet storage site characterisation and selection processGlobal CCS Institute
The CarbonNet Project has undertaken an extensive geoscience evaluation programme to identify, characterise and select prospective offshore storage sites in the nearshore Gippsland Basin, in south eastern Australia.
The process builds upon basin and regional assessments undertaken at the national level, and focuses upon leads and play fairs assessed using a vast amount of geological data available from 50 years of petroleum exploration and developments in the basin.
CarbonNet geoscience work has been subject to independent scientific peer reviews, and external assurance certification by Det Norske Veritas against the recommended practise for geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) J203.
CarbonNet now holds five greenhouse gas assessments permits providing exclusive rights to explore, appraisal and develop a portfolio of CO2 storage sites.
The project has identified a prioritised storage site capable of storing in excess of 125 Mt of CO2 for which a 'Declaration of Storage' has been prepared which demonstrates the 'fundamental determinants' and probability assessment of potential CO2 plume paths as required under Australian CCS legislation'.
This webinar will be presented by Dr Nick Hoffman, CarbonNet Geosequestration Advisor, and will provide an overview of CarbonNet geoscience evaluation programme, referencing the relevant knowledge share products available on the Global CCS Institute website.

On 15 November 2016, the Global CCS Institute’s Americas office held the Clean energy solutions symposium: What is the Future of Carbon Capture? at the National Press Club, Washington, DC.
The Institute’s General Manager for the Americas, Jeff Erikson, launched The Global Status of CCS: 2016 report by presenting to the audience the highlights from the report and discussing the significant milestones achieved in the past year in the world of CCS. Erikson’s presentation was followed by an expert panel discussion on the future of clean energy, with focus on carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Webinar Series: Public engagement, education and outreach for CCS. Part 2: CC...Global CCS Institute
The second webinar in the public engagement, education and outreach for CCS Series took a more in-depth look at CCS education, specifically the creation and delivery of CCS education programs within developing countries.
Education has long been recognised as a critical component in understanding how science, society, and adaptation influence thinking about issues impacting our climate. As an emerging technology with an important role to play in shaping our low carbon energy future, CCS plays a role in our teaching around these topics in both developed and developing countries.
In this webinar, geochemist and renowned CCS education professional Sallie Greenberg, PhD, was joined by the Stakeholder Engagement Team from the South African Centre for Carbon Capture & Storage (SACCCS) to discuss the key learnings and experiences highlighted in, CCS education in developing countries a recent guidance paper for the Global CCS Institute.
Drawing on learning from existing CCS education initiatives and good practice from the wider education literature, Dr Greenberg highlighted areas of universal approach while facing particular challenges when working in the context of a developing country. Ms Polly Modiko, the Head of Stakeholder Engagement at SACCCS, then introduced the comprehensive program of education and outreach activities that the SACCCS team have been developing to support exploration of opportunities for an onshore Pilot CO2 Storage Project (PCSP) in South Africa.
This entire Webinar Series has been designed to hear directly from the experts and project practitioners researching and delivering public engagement, education and outreach best practice for CCS. This second Webinar combined elements of education research with real world application and discussion, showcasing important learnings, and concluding with links to further education resources for those wishing to learn more.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Editor's Notes
FRAMING
Paris agreement
Rising CO2
Models to keep us within 1,5 – 2 C temperature rise by 2050 all contain CCS
Not THE solution, but one of many (no silver bullet)
Many industries can turn to renewables or change raw materials, but not all
Cement, Steel, Waste incineration
Hydrogen is a possible future fuel – but large scale means conversion from Natural Gas – only possible with CCS
And why?
Carbon tax for Sleipner and Snøhvit
TCM due to political will -> next slide
Norway front-runner on CCS and Carbon handling
Kårstø – government wanted CCS – but did not succeed
Mongstad – two step implementation agreed, TCM a success, CCM too complex and costly
Gassnova established to manage the state initiatives and research funding
And why?
NCS has a significant portion of Europe's storage capacity
Can we just store tremendous quantities?
Will it not leak back up?
Sleipner & Snøhvit has given experience
Shell is storing at Quest
Total has stored at Laq
NPD has mapped the NCS and identified tremendous potential – however, no reservoir is the same, and it required a lot of effort to confirm actual suitability
Feasibility screening in 2016
