STEMM-CCS researchers will be presenting the latest progress on many aspects of work within the project at the forthcoming GHGT-14 meeting in Melbourne, Australia in October 2018. The biennial GHGT (Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies) conference series is the principal international conference on greenhouse gas mitigation technologies, especially CCS. Participating in this meeting provides…

We are very pleased to announce that Shell, one of our STEMM-CCS Partners, will once again be hosting a STEMM-CCS project meeting. Having hosted the STEMM-CCS kick off meeting at the Shell Centre in London in March 2016, the Shell Technology Centre Amsterdam will be the venue for the 3^rd Annual Project meeting in Spring 2019.

STEMM-CCS scientists are once again heading to the Goldeneye site in the North Sea to continue baseline studies, prior to the main controlled CO2 release experiment cruises in 2019. Led by Prof. Eric Achterberg aboard the German research ship RV Poseidon, they will depart from Kiel on Wednesday 15th August, returning to Kiel at the beginning of September.

The cover story on the latest (Mar-Apr 2018) issue of the Carbon Capture Journal is all about the STEMM-CCS project. The three-page article written by one of our project members, Kelvin Boot, gives the background and aims of the project as well as an overview of some of the work done so far. For example, establishing a baseline, computer modelling of CO2 bubbles, technological innovations and…

Half time: STEMM-CCS researchers gather for second annual meeting

On 14-16 March 2018, some 50+ researchers from across the STEMM-CCS partnership gathered in Castelldefels on the NE Spanish coast to share results and discuss progress on the project to date. Now at the half-way point in the project, the teams are beginning to accumulate significant datasets, and are…

Ben Callow, a postgraduate researcher working on the STEMM-CCS project at the University of Southampton has published a paper which assesses the potential of basalt rock for CO₂ storage via the formation of carbonate minerals. The work was carried out in conjunction with the CarbFix project, which conducted pilot…

Read about all the work that has taken place on three STEMM-CCS research cruises that sailed over the summer, tracers for CO2, the STEMM-CCS lander and some of the papers that have been published by members of the project. Download here.
