Webinar – The Role of 4D Seismic in CCS: Monitoring CO2 Injection in Depleted Gas Fields

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is emerging as a key technology in reducing global CO2 emissions, but its success depends on the ability to monitor and verify how injected CO2 behaves underground. This is where 4D seismic monitoring plays a crucial role. By capturing time-lapse seismic images, scientists can track changes in subsurface reservoirs, ensuring […]

Nihal Darraj receives IPTC Young Professional Achievement Award

Congratulations to Nihal Darraj (CCS Researcher at Imperial College London and member of our Young Professionals Committee) on receiving the IPTC Young Professional Achievement Award 2025. This prestigious honour recognises Darraj’s outstanding contributions to CCS technology, innovation, and deployment, as well as her dedication to advancing a more sustainable future for the energy industry. Beyond […]

Can we achieve gigatonne scale CO2 storage by mid-century?

Yuting Zhang, Christopher Jackson and Samuel Krevor, researchers from Imperial College London, explore the feasibility of achieving gigatonne-scale CO2 storage by mid-century. In their paper The feasibility of reaching gigatonne scale CO2 storage by mid-century, published in Nature Communications (2024), they apply a logistics model to assess global CO2 storage potential, proposing a feasible benchmark for […]

Philip Ringrose honoured with 2024 EAGE Desiderius Erasmus Award and CCSA Lifetime Award

Please join us in congratulating Professor Philip Ringrose of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) on receiving not one but two prestigious accolades in 2024: the EAGE Desiderius Erasmus Award and the CCSA Lifetime Award. These honours recognise Prof Ringrose’s exceptional contributions to the fields of reservoir characterisation, large-scale CO2 storage projects, and developments […]

Northern Lights – world’s first cross-border CO2 transport and storage facility

Northern Lights is the world’s first project enabling industrial companies to transport and securely store their CO2 emissions. Approved by the Norwegian government in 2020 and designated as a Project of Common Interest by the European Union, Northern Lights aims to reduce European industrial emissions by transporting, receiving, and permanently storing CO2 in geological formations approximately […]

Accelerating the energy transition using emerging geoscience skills

How can we speed up the energy transition as part of our response to the climate change challenge? The essential tools for enabling rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are well known, but implementing these vectors of decarbonisation is challenging, partly for economic reasons and partly due to social resistance. Philip Ringrose (Norwegian University of […]
