Dedicated Sessions Carbon

5 Nov – 11:50 – 13:10

Collaboration along the CCS value chain

The collaboration between industrial partners is key since it involves emitters and people who are injecting but also how the oil and gas industry has been developing technologies to help for CCS and this is key and also it’s costly the funding is very blurred in terms of CCS so we need to find collaboration through different industry to make it happen otherwise it will be very difficult. There is also collaboration with academics and oil and gas industry. An idea is to have a debate around energy cycle for decarbonation of operations and this other issues.

Mafic / ultramafic storage: Status update and future perspective

Injection of CO2 in basalts and other reactivate rocks is a demonstrated technology to securely store CO2, providing an alternative sequestration solution that is particularly attractive in regions where no saline aquifers or depleted fields are available. Commercial-scale projects exist that demonstrate the feasibility of this technology. In addition, significant technology improvements have been made over the past years in efficiency, for example decreasing the required amount of water, increasing storage efficiency, etc.

This dedicated session aims to provide an overview of the technology and its current status/commercial applications worldwide, followed by perspectives from operators, academia and government.

Technical solutions for depleted fields

  • Depleted fields: high-priority asset for CO2 storage.
  • Potentially low or very low pressure in the gas field may require customised technical solutions.
  • The solutions chosen depend on the specifics of the field, the targeted injection rate, among other parameters.
  • This section highlights injection system designs that have been developed for different depleted fields. The line-up will show that a growing series of injection system concepts and partial technical solutions is developing. 
  • Future developers of storage systems will benefit from this expanding solution space, selecting those elements that enable them to reach their goals.

CO2 Storage Monitoring: Technologies and Lessons Learned

CO2 Monitoring is a critical component of safe, effective, and publicly accepted CO₂ storage projects. With the global deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) accelerating, robust monitoring frameworks are essential to ensure containment integrity, verify storage performance, and support regulatory compliance.

This session brings together experts from industry, academia, and research institutions to share insights into the current state of CO₂ storage monitoring, recent advancements in technology, and lessons learned from operational projects.

Speakers will explore a wide range of monitoring technologies, both established and emerging. Emphasis will be placed on how these technologies are applied in different geological settings: such as saline aquifers and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, onshore-offshore, and how monitoring strategies are tailored to specific site characteristics and risk profiles.

The session will also highlight key lessons learned from real-world CCS projects. Discussions will cover the importance of baseline data, integration of multiple datasets, early detection of anomalies, and the evolution toward risk-based and adaptive monitoring frameworks. Cost-effectiveness, data management, and regulatory alignment will be addressed as ongoing challenges.

Attendees will gain a comprehensive overview of the current state of CO₂ storage monitoring, future directions in technology development, and how field experience continues to shape best practices across the CCS industry.

Unlocking Funding for CCS

CCS primarily operates as a waste disposal enterprise, typically incurring costs rather than generating profits. However, the international policy framework is rapidly changing, with an increasing number of nations implementing policies and regulations that include:

  • Carbon pricing mechanisms such as emission taxes
  • Tax credits
  • Emissions Trading Systems (ETS)
  • Incentives for CCS technology
  • Access to government grants for pilot projects
  • Support from private organizations for R&D in capture technologies

In this session, we will delve into how various projects leverage these carbon policies to secure funding for CCS initiatives.

CCS and Geothermal: synergies and challenges

CCS and geothermal are two distinct industries but integration is possible. Some projects dissolve CO2 in produced geothermal brine for reinjection, while CO2 Plume Geothermal explores using supercritical CO2 as a working fluid. However, challenges remain, including well design, reservoir compatibility, and operational efficiency. Optimizing both strategies in parallel—through shared data, joint evaluations, and coordinated use of pore space—can enhance outcomes and resource management.
