Commercial-Scale CCS: A New Era Begins
Across the world, open-access, commercial-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is no longer a distant vision—it is now becoming reality. In the North Sea the Norwegian Northen Lights project is set to launch commercial operations this year. Momentum continues to build, with multiple projects in Europe and beyond reaching Financial Investment Decision (FID) in late 2024 and early 2025, marking a pivotal shift toward large-scale implementation.
Recent geological storage licence awards in the EU and Norway further strengthen the North Sea’s role as a key hub for gigaton-scale storage capacity. At the same time, licence equity deals are emerging in Europe as across the world, as companies seek to build balanced portfolios of potential storage sites, mitigating risk and uncertainty in this evolving landscape.
This transition presents a unique opportunity for geoscientists and engineers to re-purpose their expertise, applying their skills to one of the greatest challenges of our time—securing a sustainable future through the numerous multi-millon-ton geological storage solutions now moving ahead worldwide. But significant non-geotechnical hurdles remain, including early-stage financing, pre-FID costs, regulatory uncertainties and public perception.
Despite these challenges, CCS remains a vital tool in the global effort to reduce hard to abate emissions at scale, and ongoing advancements continue to refine its viability. Now is the time to engage, innovate, and lead in shaping this critical transition.
Exploring the future of Geological CO₂ Storage
For GESGB members, the world of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)—with its wells, reservoirs, and sealing cap-rocks—may feel familiar. Yet, in many ways, it presents new challenges and opportunities. The dual imperatives of cost reduction and long-term public safety demand an unprecedented level of collaboration and transparency.
Building on the notable success of previous years and responding to growing membership interest, GESGB’s fourth one-day symposium will dive into the evolving geo-technical landscape of geological CO₂ storage. Attendees will gain essential insights and skills to navigate this rapidly advancing field, ensuring they remain at the forefront of this critical energy transition.

Unlock Opportunities at the Symposium
This symposium offers a dynamic platform for learning, research, and exploration of emerging technologies. Attendees will have the chance to network, collaborate, and forge connections with potential partners, driving innovation and shared expertise.
Beyond technical insights, discussions will cover vital industry topics, including supply chain dynamics, employment trends, technical collaboration, public perceptions, engagement strategies, and health, safety, and environmental (HSE) considerations.
Whether you’re seeking fresh perspectives, strategic partnerships, or deeper industry knowledge, this event promises to equip you with the insights and connections needed to thrive in this evolving landscape.
Don’t miss this chance to be at the forefront of the CCS revolution and take your next step towards a sustainable future.
The CCS4G Symposium is organised by the GESGB ‘Exploring The Energy Transition’ Special Interest Group.
Technical Convenors: Kevin Dale (Sasol Energy), Neil Frewin (Shell), Catherine Horseman-Wilson (Wood Mackenzie), Clare Glover (ExxonMobil) and David Pickering (Tetra Tech RPS Energy).

Field Trip - Carbon Capture Pilot Plant
CCS4G Symposium Field Trip
Carbon Capture Pilot Plant and Rotliegend Group storage unit core
Tuesday 9 December 2025 | Imperial College London
Tickets: £34 for CCS4G Symposium Attendees – BOOK HERE
About the Field Trip
This half-day workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to explore the Carbon Capture Pilot Plant at Imperial College London, and to examine core from the Rotliegend Group reservoir in the abandoned Saturn gas field. The Carbon Capture Pilot Plant is a four-storey-high, state-of-the-art facility that represents a scaled-down industrial plant, which enables hands-on education in operating and controlling such plants.
The Rotliegend Group is being assessed as a CO2 storage unit in multiple depleted gas fields in the southern North Sea, including for the current Viking, Camelot and Poseidon projects; core allows geological heterogeneities that control CO2 flow and trapping to be characterised. The Carbon Capture Pilot Plant and Rotliegend Group core represent key components of the Carbon Capture and Storage supply chain.
Please find more information about the ABB Storage Plant HERE.
