In its first phase, the facility will convert natural gas from the Barents South region to carbon neutral blue ammonia, an easily transportable hydrogen carrier, which can be converted back to hydrogen at destination or used directly in many applications. If developed, Barents Blue will have a production capacity of 3000 tons of ammonia per day, making it one of the largest ammonia plants in the world. The offshore carbon storage reservoir is a key part of the planned Barents Blue project, which will be Europe’s first world-scale carbon neutral ammonia production plant. The Polaris carbon storage is expected to have a total carbon storage capacity in excess of 100 million tons, which is equivalent to twice Norway’s annual greenhouse gas emissions. college or university are eligible to apply.SANDNES / STAVANGER, NORWAY – – Horisont Energi AS (EURONEXT: HRGI) and Equinor ASA have entered into an agreement to further mature the carbon transportation and storage project Polaris, off the coast of Northern Norway. This research opportunity is fully funded and provides a $3000 stipend. Participants are required to attend a field safety course at WHRC in April (all travel expenses will be covered) and monthly online meetings before the field expedition. We engage the brightest young minds from a diversity of backgrounds, propelling them on trajectories to solve the most pressing scientific and societal challenges.Īnd we engage the public and decision makers, using the example of the Arctic to captivate, educate, and inform.
Will it remain in the ground as it has for thousands of years, or will the carbon be released to the atmosphere as permafrost thaws, fueling additional warming? We probe the vast quantities of ancient carbon locked-up in Arctic permafrost, investigating its fate as the earth warms. The expedition will include two weeks of intensive fieldwork in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, AK followed by two weeks of analysis and synthesis at the Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC).The Polaris Project tackles one of humanity’s greatest challenges – global climate change – in one of Earth’s most remote and vulnerable environments: the Arctic.
The Polaris Project brings undergraduate students to Alaska where they lead research on the changing Arctic. Note: this opportunity encourages applications from community college students. Always check with the individual program's website for details. For most summer research programs, this is your upcoming status as of the fall.
