Cellula on board to design and build release tool

One of the big objectives of the STEMM-CCS project is the 2019 controlled CO₂ release experiment which will be used to test the effectiveness of our developed sensors, technologies and techniques (e.g. chemical, acoustic etc) in the detection and quantification of CO₂.

Cellula Robotics Ltd, based in Canada, will design, build and test a tool to place a seven meter curved pipe into the seabed. This will enable the controlled injection of CO₂ at our test site. Cellula’s experience with seafloor geotechnical drills and remotely operated subsea equipment means that they are able to provide a bespoke solution to the STEMM-CCS project and we look forward to working with them.
