Leter etter CO2-lagringsplass

Polarcus har fått nytt seismikkoppdrag. Målet med kartleggingen er å finne potensielle steder for å lagre CO₂.

Etter tidligere vellykket kartlegging, har Polarcus nå fått i oppdrag av Gassnova å kartlegge ytterligere 323 kvadratkilometer med 3D seismikk. Dette melder upstreamonline.com.

Arbeidet skal starte i september og skal ta rundt 22 dager. Meningen er å kartlegge mulige lagringsplasser for CO₂ i Nordsjøen. Forsøk foregår nå for å undersøke om Svelvikryggen ved Hurum sør for Oslo kan brukes som et laboratorium på land. Dersom Svelvikryggen viser seg å være egnet, skal man pumpe inn CO₂ i fjellryggen for så å studere gasslekkasjen med henblikk på undersjøiske lagre i fremtiden.
