Technologies for a Sustainable Storage of Carbon Dioxide in Geological Formations I
Between April 2005 and July 2008 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) supported several projects within the GEOTECHNOLOGIEN key area "Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide":
- Benchmark - Numerical investigation of CO2 sequestration in geological formations - problem-oriented benchmarks
- CDEAL - Carbon dioxide elimination by using acid mine lakes and calcium oxide suspensions
- CHEMKIN - Real-time observation of the chemical and kinetic behaviour of carbon dioxide during geological sequestration
- CO2-TRAP - Development and Evaluation of Innovative Strategies for Mineral and Physical Trapping of CO2 in Geological Formations and of Long-Term Cap Rock Integrity
- CO2-USG-RISK - Assessment of the Long-Term Risk and Sustainability of Underground Storage of CO2 in Germany Current Practises, Future R&D Needs and Development of Methodologies
- CO2CRS - High-resolution images of subsurface CO2 storage sites in time and depth by the CRS methodology
- COSMOS - CO2 Storage, Monitoring and Safety Technology
- CSEGR - Feasibility Study on the Potential of CO2 Storage for Enhanced Gas Recovery in Mature German Gas Reservoirs
- RECOBIO - Recycling of sequestrated CO2 by microbial-Biogeochemical transformation in the deep subsurface
The areas "Innovative Prospecting Technologies" and "Technologies for a sustainable Storage of Carbon Dioxide in Geological Formations" represent the Key Research Area Investigation, Use and Protection of the Underground.
