EU Call on Geological CO2 Storage Pilots

Project proposal for the EU call: Geological Storage Pilots (ID: LC-SC3-NZE-6-2020)

We at the Clausthal University of Technology are looking to join project consortium preparing a project proposal for the EU call: Geological Storage Pilots (ID: LC-SC3-NZE-6-2020). We are a multidisciplinary team of scientists under supervision of Prof. Leonhard Ganzer and Prof. Philip Jaeger. We offer expertise in microfluidics applications, core flooding experiments, reservoir simulation and CO2 transport in the pipeline and well integrity.

We have a great background and experience in CO2 storage and enhanced gas recovery studies, including but not limited to: 

  1. CLUSTER – Impacts of impurities in captured CO2 streams from different emitters of a local cluster on transport, injection and storage. This research project was conducted from 01.07.2015 to 30.06.2018 and was sponsored by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi).
  2. CLEAN–  CO2 Large-Scale Enhanced Gas Recovery in the Altmark Natural Gas Field. This project was conducted from 01.07.2008 to 30.06.2011 and was funded by Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF).
  3. CSEGR– Feasibility Study on the Potential of CO2 Storage for Enhanced Gas Recovery in Mature German Gas Reservoirs. This research project was conducted from 01.04.2005 to 31.10.2008 and was sponsored by Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF).
