SINTEF and NTNU CCS Award – Call for nominations

The SINTEF and NTNU CCS Award is given for outstanding achievements within the field of carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS). Achievements can be within the areas:

Scientific contributions and breakthroughs
Novel schemes for CCS
Increased knowledge and dissemination of CCS
Promotion and initiation of CCS for pilot, demo and full scale

Provided worthy candidates, the award is given every second year in connection with The Trondheim Conference on CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage. This is an award for outstanding CCS achievements in general – not a “best paper award”. Anyone can nominate one or more candidates. Especially, staff members at SINTEF and NTNU are encouraged to submit nominations. Both Norwegian and international candidates are equally eligible for nomination.

Gary T. Rochelle, University of Texas at Austin, winner of the 2015 CCS Award

The award is given to an individual
The contribution of the nominee shall be of excellence and international acknowledgement according to the above designated areas
