Dr. Tore Flatlandsmo Berglen is a senior researcher at the Department of Urban Environment and Industry. He received his PhD in Geosciences at the University of Oslo in 2006 with a thesis on the sulphur cycle in the atmosphere, with a particular focus on natural and anthropogenic emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and sulphate particles.
Tore has worked at NILU since 2008 and leads various industrial projects concerning monitoring of air quality close to industrial facilities, dispersion calculations and CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage).
For a number of years, he was responsible for the monitoring project in the border areas with Russia. Air quality in the border areas was strongly affected by emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and heav metals (Nnickel, copper, cobalt and arsenic) from Russian smelters in Nikel and Zapolyarny. The smelter in Nikel was shut down in December 2020 and there was an upgrade of the briquetting plant in Zapolyarny. Emissions fell sharply, and thus the air quality in the border areas has also improved. Tore also has other projects in Eastern Finnmark, including studies of the environmental impact of war remnants, moss sampling and analysis, and dioxins around Kirkenes.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is becoming an increasingly important field in terms of transition and the path towards a zero-emission society. Amines are a well proven technology for capturing CO2, but there have been concerns about the release of amines and degradation products from amines, especially nitrosamines and nitramines. NILU has many projects to study emissions from CCS facilities and environmental impact.
Tore also works with dispersion calculations from industrial companies and influence on a local and regional scale. These are projects for both the oil and gas industry and metal industry.
