About NCCS

The Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS) is a Centre for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME).

NCCS aims to fast-track CCS deployment by working closely with industry on research topics designed to address major barriers to implementing CCS in Norway, Europe and the world.

Key highlights

Midway Evaluation

tick
After months of preparation, NCCS underwent its midway evaluation in May 2021. In June, we found out that the Centre had successfully passed the evaluation, and was deemed a "successful and impressive FME."

Results

        

NCCS is organised in 12 Tasks. Each Task focuses on different aspects of CCS, both on the national and international scale. Together they work towards fast tracking CCS deployment and becoming a world leading centre for CCS research.

       

Research tasks

The CO2 value chain and legal aspects (Task 1)

Solvent technology - environmental issues (Task 2)

Low emission H2 production (Task 3)

CO2 capture and transport-conditioning through liquefaction (Task 4)

Gas turbines (Task 5)

CO2 capture process integration (Task 6)

CO2 transport (Task 7)

Fiscal metering and thermodynamics (Task 8)

Structural derisking (Task 9)

CO2 storage site containment (Task 10)

Reservoir management and EOR (Task 11)

Cost-efficient CO2 monitoring technology (Task 12)

Innovations

Through innovations, NCCS contributes to emissions reduction, economic activity (increased value creation, saved costs), improved decision making, saved energy, and industrial potential.

In 2021, NCCS identified and described the 30 innovations being developed by the Centre so far as part of its work with developing an innovations catalogue. This catalogue will be published in 2022.

An overview of the NCCS innovations, sorted by TRL level.

Looking forward

Preparing for our midway evaluation has enabled us to reflect on everything this Centre has achieved in its five years of life so far. Now that we’re past the midway point, we are looking forward to everything that NCCS is yet to achieve.
