The following research questions are under consideration. Some will soon become KEM projects and some are still pending because of relative lack of urgency or require a better articulation to be succesful and others are just waiting on results of ongoing projects before reconsidering.

  • Evaluation of additional risks for transport of H2or CO2in existing gas transport networks (KEM-29, 2021)
  • Classification safety culture, impact on mining risks (KEM-30, SEM, 2019)
  • Soil subsidence impact models in DRA tool and data (KEM-37, 2021)
  • Optimisation strategy monitoring soil subsidence/rising (KEM-38, 2021)
  • Mechanical softening due to cyclic loading storage (KEM-40, 2021)
