International Cooperation

Enhancing experience sharing amongst pilot sites and field experiments worldwide

Context

Europe is lagging behind North America and other parts of the world in deployment of CO₂ storage onshore. The European experience is limited to a few pilot sites (e.g.Ketzin, Lacq-Rousse, Hontomin), which makes sharing experience and knowledge with other onshore storage sites outside Europe (e.g.., in U.S.A., Canada or Australia) imperative. ENOS can learn the most from sites which represent similar types of storage to those in the ENOS project, with respect to geological setting, reservoir type, storage strategy. The proposed work in this task will provide a framework for sharing and mutual learning with international sites.

Activity

• Storage Site twinning programme
• Shallow Migration Network
• Experience sharing Focus groups

Impact

Enhancing experience sharing amongst pilot sites and field experiments worldwide and providing opportunities for research alignment will leverage research investments made at each of the different sites as well as in previous and current research projects. The activity will also increase the visibility of activities performed as part of ENOS and of the sites within the ENOS portfolio.
