	Hydrogen society on the island of Utsira - Hydro
		Hydro is involved in a pioneer project on the windswept island of Utsira on the Norwegian coast near Haugesund.
		Utsira has a population of only 250, but in 2003 it will be the site of a major pioneering project in the field of energy.
		The Utsira project is particularly exciting for Hydro as the company is able to draw on experience in several areas of operation.

		Utsira has an average of only three or four days a year without wind.
		On Utsira, however, one windmill is sufficient both to produce enough power for the ten households in the project and to produce hydrogen at the same time.
		The Utsira project aims to show that combining wind power and hydrogen will make it possible to produce environmentally-friendly, renewable energy from wind, even when it is calm, and from the sun during the night.

	ExxonMobil Norway - Exploration - Utsira High
		The Utsira High area is a geologic “high” in the North Sea subsurface where it was natural to start searching for oil and gas since hydrocarbons tend to migrate from deeper sediment layers up towards such “highs”- eventually to be trapped in structural and/or stratigraphic traps.
		The first oil from the NCS was taken up in 1967 from well 25/11-1 in layers of early Tertiary age (54 million years old) in an area close to the later to be discovered Balder field.
		Later on a number of discoveries were made on or near the Utsira High, and ExxonMobil has in fact made or participated in most of these discoveries.

		It was clear that their planned hike to Vestvidda would have to wait; as he grasped for his map book that had fallen to the floor, they contemplated alternatives.
		Utsira was already an island community with a vision – interested in green technology and actively searching for projects involving biodynamic food, ecological farming, solar power – and windmills.
		The beginnings of the Utsira story were born, and although the road to project start was long and complex, that initial meeting was decisive.

		On the remote Norwegian island of Utsira stands a small hydrogen plant with two wind turbines gracefully rotating in the sky.
		On a good windy day, which Utsira has plenty of, where speeds average 10 metres [33ft] per second, the turbines can power the whole island.
		The idea is to provide an alternative to diesel, which is expensive and polluting, and is used to power generators often used in remote communities.

		All in all, the signs are that carbon dioxide leaks from the Utsira formation will not be greater than seepage from natural carbon dioxide deposits elsewhere.
		Formations similar to Utsira are found in many parts of the world.

		Just like on Utsira no electricity is produced on Røst, but led by cables from the mainland.
		Energy Development is no studying the technical and economical conditions for a wind/hydrogen station on Røst. With such a power station on the island, the old cable to the mainland is hardly needed anymore.

	IOL: Windless wind power fuels Norwegian island
		Situated off the south-west coast of Norway and unsheltered from the elements in the North Sea, Utsira island has launched a pilot project involving the transformation of surplus electricity produced by wind into hydrogen.
		Utsira's new energy will in effect be "several times" more costly than the hydraulic power produced on the Norwegian mainland.
		The country's authorities have therefore agreed to foot a quarter of the bill for the Utsira project, which calls for a total investment of more than 40-million kroner (about R40-million).

	BGS involvement with CO2 storage at the Sleipner field, beneath the North Sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		BGS is among the organizations involved in monitoring and modeling the distribution of injected CO in the Utsira Sand to check that it is behaving as predicted and is not migrating out of the intended storage site.
		Current research work at BGS is focussed on understanding detailed migration processes within the plume, and relating the seismic signals directly to CO distributions and amounts in the reservoir.
		The Utsira Sand is by no means an unusual geological formation in terms of its storage potential, and the Sleipner operation represents just one of many subsurface storage scenarios.

	Geological Society - News - Geoscience at the BA: Putting something back
		“So, even if only about 1% of the storage volume of the Utsira Sand were utilised for CO2 storage, this would be sufficient to sequester a year's output from over 900 coal-fired, or about 2300 gas-fired 500 MW power stations”.
		The reservoir used to receive it (the Utsira Sand) is a highly porous and very permeable sandstone, whose pore spaces are normally filled with unusable salty water.
		The Utsira Sand is about 200m thick and lies between 800 and 1000m beneath the seabed.
