The signals from Norway cause reactions

The Norwegian newspaper VG brought attention to some of the international reactions on the delay of Mongstad this weekend. The industry, scientists and political authorities word themselves carefully. But it is clear that the decision to postpone the fullscale project by four years untill 2018, and not the least the reasons given for this, is a dissapointment and is seen as a setback for the international development of CCS.

The government in Norway postpones Mongstad project

The realities of storing carbon dioxide

In a recent publication, Ehlig-Economides & Economides (E&E) have sought to demonstrate that carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is not technically or economically feasible, based on a supposed lack of underground storage capacity. This publication has recived a lot of atention and used as a new argument against CCS. A group of CO2 storage specialists has gone through this publication and written a response to this. Their conclusion is that they consider this publication to be a serious misrepresentation of the scientific, engineering and operational facts surrounding CCS. The response is published by The European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ZEP) Apr 30, 2010

Small scale renewable electricity

ZERO have for several years worked together with Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) with renewable energy in development project in Kenya and Brazil. These two recently published reports on micro hydropower and conversion of generators from diesel to bio oil, describes some of the work that ZERO and NCA are doing together. Hopefully they can also be useful to others working with similar projects. Mar 19, 2010

Scotland with a "Vision for CCS"

A plan to position Scotland as the world leader in carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been published. The Energy Minister claims- We now want to see a number of CCS demonstration projects developed in Scotland. Today's plan takes us further down that road by setting out our ambitions and the actions needed if our vision of CCS playing a part in our future energy supply is to be realised. Mar 18, 2010
