CASTOR (Project Completed)

Nominators: European Commission (lead), France, and Norway


Snohvit Field
This was a multifaceted project that had activities at various sites in Europe, in three main areas: strategy for CO2 reduction, post-combustion capture, and CO2 storage performance and risk assessment studies. The goal was to reduce the cost of post-combustion CO2 capture and to develop and validate, in both public and private partnerships, all the innovative technologies needed to capture and store CO2 in a reliable and safe way. The tests showed the reliability and efficiency of the post-combustion capture process, and thus, CASTOR made validation basis for post-combustion capture development.
Recognized by the CSLF at its Melbourne meeting, September 2004
