3 ESFRI published its first Roadmap in 2006 ESFRI was formed by the European Commission in 2002, and is a strategic instrument to develop the scientific intregration of Europe and to strengthen its international outreach ESFRI published its first Roadmap for Research Infrastructures in 2006 Recognition in the ESFRI Roadmap means possibilities of funding of the preparatory phase of the project Several of the infrastructures included in the 2006 Roadmap are now entering realization phase 3

4 ESFRI Update of the European Roadmap The ESFRI Roadmap was the start of a continuous process in Europe. Deadline for suggestions for the updated Roadmap in November 2007 With mandate from KD, the Norwegian Research Council suggested which projects Norway should support ESFRI had pointed out that there were few projects within renewable/ sustainable (non-nuclear) energy, environment, transport and e- infrastructure 4

5 Norwegian suggestions for new projects in the 2008 ESFRI Roadmap REF/ Nasjonal strategi for forskningsinfrastruktur ( ) 5

6 was included in the 2008 Roadmap 6

7 adresses the need for a powerful European research infrastructure within CCS Requirements leading to Major and strategic upgrading of existing Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) research infrastructures Development of new unique laboratories Goal-oriented strengthening of networks between European CCS laboratories Enhanced European competiveness within CCS technologies One strong, coordinated and competitive pan-european research infrastructure within CCS, instead of defragmented European landscape Improved security of energy supply in Europe 7

8 will neither be a network of European laboratories nor a Norwegian infrastructure with European partners will be an intregrated European Research Infrastructure (with core hub in Norway) Important to note: Open access to laboratories is a requirement for being part of the network 8

9 Team Confirmed partners Norway NTNU/SINTEF Testcenter Mongstad (TCM) Europe (LoI) DLR Stuttgart - Institute of Combustion Technology University of Stuttgart Technical University of München Eotvos Lerand Geophysical Institute of Hungary (ELGI) Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH) Polish Academy of Sciences Danmark og Grønlands Geologiske Undersøkelser (GEUS) University of Zagreb (RGN) Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) Technical University of Delft (TUD), The Netherlands IFP, France Prospective partners Ciuden, Spain Geoscience for Sustainable Earth (BRGM), France National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS), Italy Centre for Research and Technology Hellas/Institute for Solid Fuels Technology and Applications (CERTH/ISFTA), Greece 9

10 Investments in research infrastructure will be distributed between participating countries Traditional investment investment Single location investment - participants contribute to funding of single-site research laboratory Multiple locations investment - participants contribute to funding of multiple-site research infrastructure network agrees upon investment needs and participants apply for national funding (governments, ministries, industry) Funding is split based on decisions made within the network 10

11 Estimated costs for construction and operation Investment Operational Norway (NTNU/SINTEF/Others) 23 mill 1,3 mill Mongstad Research Labs 25 mill 2,0 mill TNO-TUD Absorption labs 10 mill 0,9 mill TNO Storage Labs 3 mill 0,3 mill IFP abs/adsorption pilot and kinetics lab 6 mill 1,0 mill IFP Storage Lab 2 mill 0,2 mill Other European labs 12 mill 0,6 mill SUM 81 mill 6,3 mill 11

13 What are the opportunities for Norway and Norwegian industry? Partnership between academia and industry Current partnership is largely academic However, CCS research needs to be performed in close cooperation with the industry The industry would benefit from having access to world-class CCS laboratories and from the collaboration with leading experts in this field Research spin-offs Increased focus on advanced CCS research with direct applications in industry is expected to lead to increasing number of spin-off companies Increased employment Increased number of scientists employed by NTNU/Sintef and other Norwegian partners Machine operators to run and maintain large research equipment Administrative staff Contracts for building and upgrading of new laboratories Norwegian investment needs (NTNU/Sintef) in new laboratory infrastructure approximately 23 million, ~200 million NOK Norwegian investments to be made within the next 5-10 years 13
