Welcome to the CLIMIT PhD Seminar 2016 Venue: Scandic Ringsaker Hotel at Hamar Date: 20-21 October 2016 The CLIMIT PhD Seminar will be an excellent meeting place for young researchers where you can learn more about CO2 capture and storage (CCS). The seminar is also a very good opportunity to get a broad overview of the latest achievements within CCS. This year's seminar is arranged jointly by the CLIMIT Programme and the SUCCESS research centre. The programme and practical information is given on the following pages. We hope you will enjoy the seminar! Aage Stangeland The Research Council of Norway 1 About the PhD Seminar The CLIMIT PhD Seminar 2016 takes place in Hamar 20-21 October. The seminar will, as previous years, focus on presentations from ongoing PhD projects within CCS. In addition, the seminar includes a field trip to study the local geology of the Brumunddal area, which among other features presents the best CO2 storage analogues in Norway. Hamar is located 125 km North of Oslo and can easily be reached by trains from Oslo or Gardermoen airport. The PhD seminar takes place at Scandic Ringsaker Hotel close to Hamar: The seminar is one of several interesting events: 19 October: The traditional SUCCESS Fall seminar with presentations of results from the SUCCESS research center. 20 October: Field trip to study geology relevant for CO2 storage. The field trip will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about CO2 storage. For young researchers working on CO2 capture and transport it will be a perfect introduction to what CO2 storage is all about. For young researchers with expertise within CO2 storage the field trip will give valuable insight into real life geology. 21 October: The CLIMIT PhD seminar with key note lectures and presentations from ongoing PhD projects. This will be a perfect opportunity to learn from other young scientists working on CCS and to establish valuable networks. 2 Programme Thursday 20 October 2016 09.00 Introduction to Field trip Venue: The Scandic Ringsaker Hotel, Hamar.

What can we do to ensure wide implementation of CCS globally? 15.15 Awards for best presentation and best poster 15.30 Departure from the hotel 5 Practical information Date and meeting venue The CLIMIT PhD seminar 2016 is arranged 20-21 October 2016 at the Scandic Ringsaker hotel, Kårtorpvegen 1, 2320 Furnes.

Posters All participants are encouraged to bring a poster presenting their project! 6 Awards There will be awards for best presentation and best poster! The field trip to the Brumunddal Sandstone The Brumunddal sandstone covers an area comparable with a medium sized oil reservoir / aquifer in the North Sea and has been discussed as an onshore test site for carbon storage. At this field excursion we will visit several locations that will show how the sandstone was formed at a time when the lake Mjøsa area was a desert. The sandstone is preserved in a halfgraben within the Oslo rift. We will also see tracks of deformation bands. This easily recognizable yellow and red sandstone still has much of its original porosity, making it a usable reservoir. Today it is an important groundwater magazine, serving drinking water to more than 4,300 nearby households. Organizing committee The seminar is Co-organized by the CLIMIT secretariat and FME SUCCESS. Questions can be addressed to the organizing committee: o Aage Stangeland, The Research Council of Norway, [email protected], phone +47 22 03 73 70. o Tor Langeland, CMR, [email protected] 7 About the CLIMIT Programme CLIMIT is the Norwegian RD&D programme for accelerating the commercialization of CCS by financial stimulation of research, development and demonstration. The program includes CCS in fossil fuel-based power generation and industrial point source emissions. The programme is managed by Gassnova in cooperation with the Research Council of Norway.

About SUCCESS The SUCCESS centre addresses several important areas for CO2 storage in the subsurface: storage performance, sealing properties, injection, monitoring and consequences for the marine environment. The “CO2-School” is in addition a major educational program. The centre will as far as possible try to bridge gaps from details to concepts and applications, from small to large scale, and to transfer data and knowledge between many related fields.
