During the two day meeting, Maribel García-Ibáñez and Anna Oleynik from the University of Bergen, and Marius Dewar from Heriot-Watt University all presented posters of their latest work and results. In addition, Maribel represented the whole STEMM-CCS project and gave an update on our latest developments during the ‘Monitoring offshore CO2 storage/EOR’ session chaired by Katherine Romanak. She was also a member of the  discussion panel held at the end of the session.

Sessions were also held on value chains for offshore, infrastructure, offshore CO2 storage resource assessment and standards and regulatory frameworks. A brainstorming activity looking at the technical criteria and possible funding mechanisms for an international collaborative project was also conducted. The meeting concluded with a site visit to the Klemetsrud energy recovery plant.
