Technologies for a Sustainable Storage of Carbon Dioxide in Geological Formations II

© GEOTECHNOLOGIEN

This Key Research Area is divided into two major strands: the location-oriented projects (Project CLEAN) and location-independent projects. The following projects are funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) since early 2008:
 

• ALCATRAP - Optimising CO₂-Storage Through Reactions With Alkaline Residues by the Alkaline Carbon Trapping-Process
  coordination: Prof. S. Peiffer, Uni. Bayreuth
• CO2-Leckage - CO₂-Leckage Test in a Near Surface Aquifer to Determine New Monitoring Concepts and Methods
  coordination: Prof. A. Dahmke, Uni. Kiel
• CO2-MoPa - Modeling and Parameterization of CO₂ Storage in Deep Saliniferous Formations for Dimension and Risk Analysis
  coordination: Prof. A. Dahmke, Uni. Kiel
• COBOHR - Sealing of wells of CO₂ Underground Storage for the Long-time Abandonment Before and After the Injection
  coordination: Prof. Dr. H.-J. Kretzschmar, DBI Gas- und Umwelttechnik GmbH
• CO2Depth - Software for Accurate Depth Focusing, Resolution, and Localization of CO₂ Storage and Migration Processes from 3D Seismic Data
  coordination: Dr. J. Prüssmann, Trappe Erdöl Erdgas Consultant
• CO2SEALS - Sealing Efficiency of Cap Rocks for CO₂-Storage in Geological Underground
  coordination: Prof. R.Littke, RWTH Aachen
• CO2SINUS - CO₂-Storage in In-situ Converted Coal Seams
  coordination: Prof. R. Azzam, RWTH Aachen
• COMICOR - Fault Related CO₂-Fluid Migration and its Impact on Wall Rock Alteration and the Integrity of CO2 Reservoir Rocks - Depression (Central Germany) as a Natural Analogue for Industrial CO2 Sequestration
  coordination: Prof. R. Gaupp, Uni. Jena
• COSONOStRA - CO₂-SO₂-NO_x-Stimulated Rock Alteration
  coordination: Prof. J. Erzinger, GFZ Potsdam
• RECOBIO2 - Investigation of the Biogeochemical Transformation of injected CO₂ in the Deep Subsurface
  coordination: Dr. N. Hoth, TU Freiberg

Associated projects:
 

• SUGAR-A - Submarine Gas Hydrate Deposits: Exploitation, Mining and Transport
  coordination: Dr. J. Bialas, IFM-GEOMAR Kiel
• CLEAN - CO2-Enhanced Gas Recovery Altmark
  coordination: Dr. M. Kühn, Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ

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.
