Erik Lindeberg
Special Advisor, SINTEF

He has a PhD in Physical Chemistry 1981 from NTNU and been working at NTNU, Statoil, NBS (Washington DC) and many years at SNTEF. At present he is a Chief Scientist at CO₂ Technology and Senior Adviser at SINTEF.

From 1986 he has been working on CCS as a large-scale option to mitigate climate change in most areas within this field. In the 90s geological storage has been the main research. He initiated the international research project on CO₂ monitoring in the Sleipner CO₂-storage project.  Leakage and safety have been main fields. Examples are work on diffusion induced instability in the water column creating convection which increase CO₂ solubility rate and work to combined reservoir leakage modelling and climate modelling to demonstrate what the minimum retention time is needed to prevent future climate change due to leakage.
