Innovations in CCS and the development of large-scale, cost-effective offshore CO2 storage
Carbon capture and storage looks set to take-off after decades of research. Francesco Finotti examines the latest technological initiatives and developing value chain.
NCCS Consortium Days 2022: Celebrating the past while looking to the future
On 9 and 10 November, the Norwegian CCS Research Centre Consortium gathered in Trondheim for its annual Consortium Days event.
Why is understanding choked flow crucial for CO2 capture, transport and storage?
If we are to design and operate CO2 capture, transport and storage (CCS) systems efficiently and safely, we need to know more about CO2’s choked flow – that is, its maximum flow rate through valves, holes or other restrictions. This has been the subject of a new paper: Experiments and modelling of choked flow of CO2 in orifices and nozzles.
A report on the European Solid Mechanics Conference 2022 in Galway – with a focus on fracture modelling
Anne-Sophie Sur is a PhD candidate in Task 7 of the Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS). This summer, she attended the 11th European Conference on Solid Mechanics in Galway, Ireland. Afterwards, she wrote a travel letter about her experience at the conference and explaining her work to develop a model to predict fractures in pipelines transporting CO2.
