Storing CO2 is one of the possible - some say: necessary - remedies against higher greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. In the next years carbon capture and storage (CCS) is expected to mature into a practical technology to fight global climate change. CATO-2 researches and prepares all steps in the CCS chain. CCS chain
The first link in the CCS chain is to capture and purify CO2 generated by fossil fuel combustion and some industrial processes. The second step is to compress and transport the CO2 to a storage site. The third and final step is to inject the CO2 in the deep underground, for example in depleted oil or gas fields.
Official opening carbon capture plant at Mongstad
The official opening of the large scale carbon capture plant at CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad was performed by the Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg on 7 May 2012. The main objectives are to verify operational parameters (performance data) and to increase the technical and economical knowledge regarding operation of an industrial scale plant.
