Tøyen Park was alive with activity for all ages. Activities ranged from building a life size dinosaur from artificial dinosaur bones, demonstrating rock faults using a sponge cake, to blowing up balloons using bicarbonate of soda mixed with vinegar to produce CO₂.

Storage of CO2 in safe geological formations in the subsurface can be an important strategy to reduce CO2 gasses in the atmosphere.

SSC - RAMORE is a research project about leakages of CO₂ stored in the subsurface.

Main objectives of the project: To establish technology for risk assessment, monitoring, and remediation of CO₂ stored in the subsurface.

- CO₂ mixed with formation water does not geochemically alter the seals to such an extent that they leak, summarizes Professor of Geology Per Aagaard, and adds: Although these promising results of the SSC-Ramore project, we still do need more knowledge of the process involved in the sealing caprock above the CO₂ reservoir to be certain that the sealing is tight and CO₂ stays in place. Now our research focus has somewhat shifted towards how the geomechanical properties change with diagenetic processes (cementation) and structural deformation processes.
