Sonardyne System to Monitor North Sea CO2 Leaks

U.K.-based North Sea CCS industry is an important element in the government’s initiative to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, mitigating against high future energy costs and for developing high value, low carbon industries. Other members of the Consortium are lead participant Fugro GEOS Ltd., the National Environment Research Council (NERC – as represented by the National Oceanography Centre and British Geological Society), Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the University of Southampton. Using technologies already proven in the offshore and oceanographic industries, combined

benefits to the country. This project helps to move the industry and U.K. capability forward.” “The challenge set by ETI is the development of an entirely new capability in the MMV of under-sea carbon capture storage sites,” explained Anthony Gaffney, Managing Director, Fugro GEOS Ltd.  “This is a truly exciting and ground-breaking project with worldwide ramifications. It is great to see Britain and British organizations leading the way and we are proud to bring our wealth of experience to this key project.” “Fugro is constantly seeking to diversify

The project, commissioned and funded by the ETI, will develop a monitoring system using marine robotics and Sonardyne’s ALDS to provide assurance that carbon dioxide stored in CCS sites is secure. (Photo: Sonardyne)
