Researchers from the STEMM-CCS and CarbFix projects are convening a session on geological CO2 storage and monitoring at Goldschmidt 2019 in Barcelona. Keynote speakers include Donald J. Depaolo from the University of California, Berkeley.
Abstracts are invited for the session ‘Geological CO2 Storage and Monitoring: (Bio)geochemical and Technological Insights from Laboratory Tests,…
The CO2 tanks that will form part of the gas delivery system for the controlled release experiment have now arrived at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in Southampton ready to be built into the large steel deployment frame being fabricated on site.
The two tanks (pictured below in the workshop at NOC) have a capacity of 2.8 m3 each and a max working pressure…
Members of the technical logistics and equipment team, Kevin Saw and Robin Brown travelled to the Cellula Robotics headquarters in Canada, to conduct the first phase of acceptance testing for the STEMM-CCS drill rig which has now been built. This is the tool that will push a curved pipe into the seabed for injection of the CO2 via a diffuser at the end of the pipe (see right hand…
As reported in June this year, Cellula Robotics Ltd are designing and building the tool for the STEMM-CCS release experiment which will place a curved pipe into the seabed. Watch the animation below, produced by Cellula to see how this will work.

The latest STEMM-CCS expedition to the Scanner Pockmark in the North Sea, aboard the RV Maria S. Merian, returned to Edinburgh on 25th October having had a short but successful cruise. Operating in the North Sea in October can be challenging due to the weather experienced at this time of the year – during the cruise this ranged from relatively calm waters to a two day period of…
Our latest newsletter contains a preview of next year's main experimental cruise which will involve two research vessels operating at the same location and news on two other STEMM-CCS research cruises (one past, one present). There's an insight into some of the engineering challenges STEMM-CCS are facing (and solving!), a focus on some of the sensor technology we're using and bubble news!
…GHGT-14 is now in full swing in Melbourne. Head over to the STEMM-CCS twitter account for the latest updates: https://twitter.com/STEMM_CCS_EU
In front of the STEMM-CCS stand below are the STEMM-CCS participants who have made the long trip to Melbourne together with the the Programme Manager from IEAGHG and another of our Stakeholder…
STEMM-CCS are going to be in Melbourne at the GHGT-14 meeting from 21-26 October 2018. In addition to eleven oral and poster presentations from STEMM-CCS project members, we also have a stand in the main exhibition hall highlighting the projects aims and objectives, sharing some early results and showcasing the 2019 controlled release experiment that will take place at the Goldeneye site in…
The RV Maria S. Merian set sail from Edinburgh on Tuesday evening (16th October) on the latest STEMM-CCS expedition. The short expedition to the Scanner Pockmark area in the North Sea aims to obtain sediment core samples from the Scanner Pockmark using the British Geological Survey’s Rock Drill 2 system. In addition downhole logging data will be collected.
The sediment cores will be…
The seabed lander which was deployed in October 2017 (see previous article) has been on the seafloor at the experiment site collecting environmental baseline data. To enable us to access some of the data while the lander is still on the seafloor, it was built with some data pods that were designed to pop up to the sea surface so we…
