The 17th Greenhouse Gas Control Technology Conference (GHGT-17) represents the foremost international event focused on technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with a particular emphasis on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). This esteemed conference series actively promotes low-carbon solutions to address climate change. Held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in October 2024, GHGT-17 gathered researchers, industry leaders, government officials, and business partners from around the world to explore pioneering technologies, innovations, and strategies for mitigating greenhouse gases. Among the attendees from NORCE were:
- Sarah Gasda
- Trine Solberg Mykkeltvedt
- Kirsti Midttømme
- Alexey Khrulenko
- Roman Berenblyum
- Arvid Nøttvedt
Alexey Khrulenko (WP6) presented an e-poster titled “Screening CO2 Storage Potential of Petroleum Reservoirs on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.” In his study, co-authored by Trine Solberg Mykkeltvedt(CSSR:WP6) and Sarah Gasda, he presented:
- Methodology to assess and compare CO2 storage potential of Norwegian petroleum fields based on open data
- A database with numerous screening parameters covering almost all Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) fields
- A web app for data visualization and screening
- Several application examples
One of the new analysis tools coming out from CSSR, presented at the GHGT, focuses on open-data CCS screening tools for depleted fields on the Norwegian continental shelf. Link to tool.
