Kick-off Meeting of the CO₂ Enhanced Storage ChairPau - Presidency Auditorium

26 Nov 2018

The kick-off meeting for the CO₂ Enhanced Storage Chair was held on Monday, November 26, 2018, on the Pau campus.

Global warming is one of humanity's major concerns, and scientists are highlighting the need to take action to limit greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) aims to reduce the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere; therefore, CO₂ storage is a promising action. Various mechanisms contribute to the storage of CO₂ in a reservoir, depending on time.

The CO₂ Enhanced Storage (ES) industrial chair focuses on CO₂ storage by dissolution in deep aquifers. Its objective is to study its speed and efficiency in relation to instability and other potential effects.

CO2 ES seeks to improve the understanding of CO₂ capture and transport processes involved in geological storage of CO₂ to design larger scale, more efficient and safer projects.

The proposed research activities will be developed by two post-doctoral students and four PhD students, in close collaboration with industrial and institutional partners and international researchers.
