Abstract
CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is an important part of the global solution for greenhouse gas control and was first implemented at an industrial scale at the Sleipner project in Norway in 1996. After reviewing the current state of progress with CCS projects, globally, we conclude that CCS is essential to achieving the 2oC warming scenario as stated in the Paris agreement. Industrial-scale CCS projects in Norway have been important vehicles for developing and demonstrating the many technologies involved in CCS. By reviewing this experience we identify key learnings and insights concerning: CO2 storage operations, testing of CO2 capture technologies, the value of geophysical imaging and monitoring data, and insights into storage capacity and injectivity performance.
