Capture and storage of CO2 <\/sub>beneath the sea floor is an important strategy in the struggle to reduce the amount of the climate gas in the atmosphere. A new project\u00a0sets to see how safe such storage is.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

CAGE is participating in a project that will conduct\u00a0a\u00a0first of a kind, deep-water experiment on controlled release of CO2<\/sub> from a submerged carbon dioxide storage reservoir.<\/p>\n

Small quantities of CO\u2082 will be injected into mud on the sea floor in the North Sea, 100km North East of Aberdeen. This site is in the vicinity of a depleted gas field and is a typical location that could be used for carbon dioxide storage.<\/p>\n

Part of Horizon 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

The experiment will take place in 2018, as a part of a \u20ac16M collaborative project led by the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) <\/a>in Southampton, UK: Strategies for Environmental Monitoring of Marine Carbon Capture and Storage<\/a> (STEMM CCS). It is funded through EU\u00b4s Horizon 2020 programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project will enable scientists to develop a system for detecting and quantifying the volume of any CO\u2082 released. This work will help provide greater reassurance around the safety of carbon capture and storage operations in the future.<\/p>\n

CAGE contributes with seismic studies<\/strong><\/p>\n

CAGE is contributing to Work Package 3, which uses new geophysical techniques, sediment imaging techniques and direct sampling to determine the efficiency of fluid (gas and water) pathways in the shallow sub-surface.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will contribute our unique 4D time-lapse seismic studies of active fluid leakage systems on the West-Svalbard margin to the project.\u201d says Stefan B\u00fcnz, associate professor at CAGE at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.<\/p>\n

The work package will focus on anomalies in seismic data (‘chimney structures’), common in many sedimentary basins, which are generally believed to be the result of hydro-fracturing and fluid migration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
