Postponed: Seminar on safe CO2 storage

The authorities find it prudent to complete the consultation processes and regulatory work before conducting the seminar.

We have noted considerable interest in the seminar, and are hoping for a good turnout when the seminar is rescheduled in 2024!

Original article about the seminar

The Petroleum Safety Authority, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate and the Norwegian Environment Agency are inviting interested parties to a seminar on safe storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in geological formations on the NCS.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is necessary for the achievement of national and international climate goals, both in the short and medium term. Norwegian authorities are working to ensure utilisation of the considerable potential for CO2 storage on the NCS.

Topic: How can we ensure that injection and storage of CO2 on the Norwegian shelf (NCS) can be accomplished in a way that is safe? And what roles do the Norwegian authorities play in this?

Location: The Petroleum Safety Authority / Norwegian Petroleum Directorate in Stavanger

Date: 8 November 2023, 9.00 - 15.00

Price: Free

Information about the CCS regulations

At the seminar, the three agencies will provide an overview of relevant CCS regulations within their respective areas of responsibility, how the regulations are followed up and what expectations the authorities have for storage players.

Offshore Norge will explain the challenges they see in establishing large-scale CCS on the Norwegian shelf, including regulatory, technological and financial challenges and barriers. Standards Norway will present their work on developing standards for capture, transport and storage.

For licensees and other relevant players

The primary audience for the seminar includes licensees and other relevant players involved in CO2 storage, or those that are planning such activity.
The seminar will not be streamed. The presentations will be published on the agencies’ websites after the seminar.
