4. CO2GeoNet & CGS Europe - an integrated
community of researchers
!
Multidisciplinary expertise:
! geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geomechanics,
hydrology, microbiology, reservoir engineering,
oceanography, psycho-social science, …
!
Masters every facet of CO2 storage:
! site selection and characterization, modelling and monitoring
CO2 fate and site behaviour, environmental impacts, risk
assessment, and safety protocols
!
Provides integrated research results, synthesized
knowledge and advices, shared by a large and
independent scientific community
Our activities are oriented to consolidate and
develop a scientific community able to answer to
the requests of knowledge on CO2 storage coming
from all sectors of our society

7. CO2GeoNet Strategy
"
Focus on:
Knowledge Management
!
Knowledge Development: joint research through
alignment of institutes’ research programmes and
external support, knowledge-sharing workshops, staffexchange programme
!
Knowledge Repository: collect, structure, summarize
knowledge for easy use
!
Knowledge Dissemination: Annual Open Forum, CO2
storage awareness-raising workshops, CO2 storage
Spring School, Brochures, central website with links to
national websites

8. CO2GeoNet Strategy
"
This implies:
!
Strong interaction with all the stakeholders
in Europe and elsewhere
!
Active participation in the EU and international
initiatives (such as ZEP, EERA, ECCSEL, EU Demo
Network, ISO, GCCSI, CSLF ....)
!
Direct involvement in the running (and planned)
large-scale and small-scale storage projects
(such as Weiburn, Sleipner, Snohvit, In Salah, K-12B,
Ketzin, Hontomin, Longyearbyen - Svalbard ....)

9. CO2GeoNet Strategy
"
!
Is true that the techniques for CO2 geological
storage come from the hydrocarbon sector ...
BUT
!
Every new knowledge we got is due to the
projects of REAL CO2 storage !!!!
"
and
!
The NEXT GENERATION of techniques for a large
deployment of CCS will come from a meaningful
number of new Pilot and Demo projects starting
now and in the years to come

So, there are many things still to learn
from pilot and demo projects ...
!
Focus on deep saline aquifers
!
Spatial development of CO2 plume (steering, control
mechanism)
!
Improved resolution of geophysical mapping methods,
particularly in aquifers with sparse data
!
Improved static and dynamic modelling tools
!
Dissolution, residual trapping and associated time-scale
processes
!
Pressure build-up (monitoring and control)
!
Improved knowledge of hydraulic properties of faults
!
Cheap wells for exploration and observation
!
Abandonment procedures
!
Low-cost and long-time monitoring tools for afterclosure periods (transfer of liability)
