CO2 Data Storage Consortium-Sharking reference datasets from CO2 storage projects

CO 2 DataShare aims to be an international platform for sharing CO 2 storage datasets. Its goal is to promote R&D of new technology based on experience gained from demonstration and industrial projects, thereby accelerating the de- ployment of CCS. Objectives are: Lowering the threshold for data owners to share with the CCS community Make it easy to find, access and use well-documented datasets online Curate and prepare a limited number of high-quality reference datasets Stimulate sharing of results and promote networking The initiative is currently a collaboration between US and Norwegian stakeholders, but aims to be an open international network that includes private and public actors. The first version of the digial portal is expected to be ready by mid-2019.
