In addition to project and partnership members, representatives from other industries, ministry, national and regional institutions and county administrations in Sweden and Norway attended the conference.
The conference was arranged on the 7th December at the University of Oslo. The main purpose of the conference was to present the project results and discuss the way forward for CCS with an industrial and regional perspective. Addressing the entire CCS chain and including legal and political framework for CCS in a national and regional context are special features of this project which was acknowledged. A safe and acceptable CO2 storage is a critical factor in all CCS chains and identification of the Gassum formation, south of Kristiansand, as a potential storage site is an important achievement of the project. The legal framework for CCS is also a demanding area which needs further attention and possibly set the timeline to provide a predictable environment for CCS implementation. The project report will be available at this web site shortly.
