Whole Value Chain CCUS Conference Week 2025

This event is a collaborative effort between Petroleum Research School of Norway (NFiP), The Colorado-Norway Clean Energy Research and Educational Collaboration (ColNor), NorTex Petroleum Cluster, Rice University and is Co-Hosted by Colorado School of Mines.

This five-day conference will bring together ca. 50 graduate students and 30 scientists, engineers and CCUS experts from Norway, other countries in Europe, Asia, South America and USA. Travel and accommodation for approved student participants, after applications have been evaluated, are paid for by NFiP. Student spaces are limited and will be allocated after each of the application deadlines, so please apply at your earliest convenience.  Geographic considerations will be included in the evaluation to ensure representative international student participation. Speakers are provided by the partner institutions and industry.

Faculty and industry representatives interested in participating while covering their own expenses also need to fill in the application form to ensure sufficient logistic capacity at the event venue.

The Whole Value Chain approach covers all aspects of CCUS, including capture, transport, utilization and storage of CO2. Successful global CO2 storage in the amounts needed to mitigate global warming requires industry participation. To realize industrial CO2 storage, sustainable economy, with opportunity to generate revenues, is crucial. CO2 EOR provides such an economic opportunity and will simultaneously store the huge amounts of CO2 required. This will provide synergy between the need for increased energy production and the need for reduction in emission of anthropogenic CO2, by storage in sedimentary rocks.

Below please find how to apply, a tentative detailed conference program, an overview of the conference week, and more info on the logistics.
