Discussion. Some suggested questions for the group:

· What R&D would be most impactful at an offshore pilot-scale storage project, commercial-scale project?

· To our Norwegian colleagues: given what you’ve seen on US R&D projects at our conference, are there any collaborative opportunities that stand out?
