Cooperation between partners
The actual research cooperation between the research and industry partners takes place at the task
level. Task leaders coordinate activities and organize meetings between the relevant partners (technical
meetings). During 2014, each task organized two technical meetings.
Once a year all SP and Task Leaders meet for a
Task Leader Seminar
. This year’s seminar was held in
Trondheim on May 9, and dealt with innovation and potentials for technology development in light of
the of the latest IPCC report.
Two Sub-Programme Days were held in 2014 – the
Storage Day
on September 22 and the
Capture Day
on November 4. These meetings are in principle open to partners only, but also external resources have
been invited. The topic for the Storage Day was results from on-going activities and priorities for future
research on CO
2
storage to enable large-scale CCS. The Capture Day dealt with results and plans for the
next years, and also had an open session with invited speakers.
The Centre organizes an annual
Consortium Day.
At this event all partners and researchers are invited,
and the intention is to provide a snapshot of last years’ activities and results. The BIGCCS Consortium
Day 2014 was held at Scandic Lerkendal, Trondheim on September 23, with more than 50 attendees.
The
Centre Management Group
(CMG) consists of the SP leaders, the Leader for the centre building and
dissemination activities, the Centre Director and the Centre Manager. Representatives from SINTEF
Energy Research, SINTEF Petroleum Research, SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and NTNU are present.
The CMG held 23 meetings during 2014, including one full-day
CMG seminar
, which focussed on future
research priorities and possibilities for continuing BIGCCS. The focus of the CMG is to ensure that the
annual work programme is carried out according to plan, and to oversee the day-to-day operations.
