Two Master’s degrees, one clear motivation: Making a differenceWith two Master’s degrees—one from his home country Nigeria and one from Norway—Tochukwu Ogbu contributes to the high quality of chemical analyses at the laboratory of Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM). He thrives at the world’s largest and most flexible centre for testing carbon capture technologies. “Contributing to solutions that make a real difference for the environment is not just something I dream about, but something I get to help with every single day. That makes the job both interesting and highly meaningful,” says Tochukwu.
TCM Launches CESAR1 CCS Benchmarking Campaign – Industry Partners InvitedTechnology Centre Mongstad (TCM) is launching its CESAR1 Sector Benchmarking Campaign, scheduled for Q4 2026. Selected industry stakeholders are invited to participate in this unique initiative, designed to generate validated, large-scale datasets for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies under real industrial conditions.
TCM highlights AURORA results and growing international CCS momentum“The overall impression after ‘Knowledge Sharing 2026’ is that carbon capture and storage (CCS) stands stronger than ever as a key tool in addressing climate change. We are encouraged by the strong interest in the results from technology testing at TCM,” says Managing Director Muhammad Ismail Shah.
TCM to Continue Operations Through 2027Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM)’s owners have signed a new agreement securing the facility’s continued operation until 31 December 2027. This enables TCM to continue operating as an independent and neutral test centre for carbon capture technologies.
The AURORA Campaign at TCM a Success“The campaign at TCM to test the advanced CO2 capture solvent CESAR1 was a success,” says Chief Scientist Hanne Marie Kvamsdal at SINTEF. She leads the EU-funded AURORA project, which aims to qualify CESAR1 for commercial use.
TCM made its mark in HamburgFor the second year in a row, Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) had a strong presence at the Carbon Capture Technology World Expo in Hamburg.
