The objectives of Feasibility Case Study Mid-Norway is to identify suitable saline aquifers for underground CO2 storage on the southeastern part of the Trøndelag Platform and along the coast of Mid-Norway – an area where CO2 point sources exist and are planned, and to determine storage capacity by regional mapping, reservoir parameter quantification, and simulation of migration and underground behaviour of CO2 in the aquifers.

Progressive Energy Ltd, a specialist energy project company, is developing plans to build a 450MW coal gasification combined cycle (CGCC) power station in South Wales. The power station will be fed with a mixture of local anthracitic coal and green petcoke. The technology proposed permits pre-combustion removal of a significant proportion of the CO2, from which over 99.5% of the sulphur will already have been removed. Volumes of CO2 are expected to be 1–2 million tonnes per year, which should be available from 2006. Suitable sites for underground storage of the CO2 will be evaluated.
Germany
The German case study evaluates a deep saline aquifer in the Northeast German basin. Case study leader is Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) and main project partner is the Swedish power company Vattenfall. Other partners are TNO-NITG and BRGM. More information....
Denmark
The Danish case-study of the CO2STORE project comprises the potential future capture and underground storage of CO2 from two point sources. These are the coal fired power plant Asnæsværket and the Statoil refinery both located in the city of Kalundborg, More information....
