Towards geological storage of CO2 in the Czech Republic
Annotation in Czech
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and geological storage (CCS) is one of the most important options of decreasing man-made emissions of CO2 - the substantial greenhouse gas. The main objective of the project is to significantly increase the level of knowledgeof the most promising structures potentially suitable for geological storage of CO2 in Czechia - i.e. the deep saline aquifers of the Central Bohemian Permian-Carboniferous basins and (semi-)depleted hydrocarbon fields of eastern Moravia, and to re-assess more accurately their CO2 storage potential. The partial project objectives are to increase the knowledge of petrophysical, lithological and geo-mechanical properties of both reservoir and seal rocks by laboratory analyses; to build initial basin andreservoir models of one selected storage site and perform the very first simulation of potential CO2 injection and storage; and to assess the depleted oil fields in Czechia with respect to their suitability for CO2-driven enhanced oil recovery and CO2
