ACRONYM
GEOSTOR 2
Title
CDRMare GEOSTOR 2: Submarine Carbon Dioxide Storage in Geological Formations of the German North Sea
General information
The GEOSTOR project investigates whether and how it is possible to store carbon dioxide (CO2) in geological formations of the German North Sea on an industrial scale. To achieve this, the geological conditions, environmental risks, new methods for storage monitoring, the legal framework, operating and development costs, and potential conflicts and synergies with other uses of the German North Sea will be considered. Additionally, the relevant authorities as well as potential operators and users from industry will be involved in an advisory board to discuss implementation options for a demonstration project on a million-ton scale and develop a roadmap for such a project.
