FluidFlower experiment on YouTube
The FluidFlower experiment is a powerful experimental and communication tool — making visible what no one has ever seen before. A new video explains what happens to CO2 stored deep below the ocean’s surface. CSSR centre deputies Martin Fernø (UiB/NORCE) and Jan Martin Nordbotten (UiB/NORCE) explain the context of the…
CSSR @ SIAM Geosciences Conference 2023
June 19 – 22, the SIAM Conference on Mathematical & Computational Issues in the Geoscience (GS23) was held in Bergen. The conference was co-chaired by CSSR deputy director Jan Martin Nordbotten. In the Local Organizing Committee, we also recognize many others from the CSSR team: Sarah Gasda, Eirik Keilegavlen and…
Seven papers submitted to Transport in Porous Media on the FluidFlower International Benchmark study
Over the last 2 years, CSSR deputy directors Martin Fernø (UiB/NORCE) and Jan Martin Nordbotten (UiB/NORCE), together with their research groups, have worked on developing the FluidFlower experimental rig to become an arena for international verification of geological carbon storage simulation capabilities. This work is now culminating in a special…
Timely review of subsurface carbon storage
A new review is published on subsurface CO2 and H2 storage: ‘Subsurface carbon dioxide & hydrogen storage for a sustainable energy future’ from Krevor et al., in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment.. This is a forward looking review where we evaluate the feasibility of expanding subsurface CO2 storage into a…
Expert interview of CSSR director
The news agency Deutsche Welle (DW) was in Norway covering the official opening of the Northern Lights visitors centre and stopped by NORCE to hear the perspectives of carbon storage experts on how CCS can help reduce emissions safely and effectively. The reporters viewed new simulation results of the FluidFlower…
