POLET at Climate breakfast seminar and roundtable on the future of carbon capture and storage
Tsimafei Kazlou presents POLET research on the feasible deployment of CCS
Tsimafei Kazlou shared recent POLET research on the feasibility of carbon capture and storage technologies to Norwegian policymakers and industry representatives at a Climate breakfrast (Klimafrokost) seminar on November 29th in Bergen, Norway. The Climate breakfasts are a seminar series organised by the Norwegian Climate Foundation in close cooperation with researchers, policymakers, and the industry. In its most recent edition, the topic of the seminar was “What will it take for carbon capture and storage to be put into use on a scale that meets the climate targets?”. We discussed the opportunities and challenges around CCS and CDR including high project costs, policy support, and project development from pilot- to full-scale. The seminar was attended by both industry actors and policymakers working with CCS.
To get the seminar started, Lars Ursin (Editor at the Norwegian Climate Foundation) presented a recently published report titled ”Carbon capture and storage and carbon removal: Opportunities and challenges” (original title: “Karbonfangst og -lagring og karbonfjerning: Muligheter og utfordringer”), which is a product of expert knowledge on CCS and CDR and includes an interview from Tsimafei.
Tsimafei Kazlou presented findings from the recently published Nature Climate Change paper on the feasibility of CCS deployment for meeting climate targets. Other presentations focused on the current and future status of CCS technologies and projects in Norway and were followed by a discussion with the Norwegian Liberal Party (see agenda below).
| Name | Affiliation | Presentation Title |
|---|---|---|
| Tsimafei Kazlou | PhD Candidate at the University of Bergen | Are the IPCC and IEA’s scenarios for CCS realistic? |
| Mona Mølnvik | Head of Research at SINTEF | Capture, storage and removal. This is how the technologies work. |
| Einar Våge | Director at Mongstad Industrial Park | How can we use CCS to cut emissions from large point sources and important industrial activities? |
| Benedicte Staalesen | Communications Manager at Northern Lights | From planning, to pilot to practical climate solution |
| Atle Tvedt Pedersen | General Manager at BIR Ressurs AS | What is needed to accelerate CCS as a climate solution in the waste sector? |
| Sveinung Rotevatn | Former Climate and Environment Minister and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, “Venstre” | The matter seen from a political perspective by representatives of the Storting. |
