The EU Geocapacity Project—Saline aquifers storage capacity in Group South countries

Investigation of adsorption properties of geological materials for CO2storage

“…As a result of this project, it is clear that carbon capture and storage can play an important role in Mediterranean countries (including Slovenia), as part of their strategy to mitigate emission of greenhouse gases [13].…”

“…Extensive targeted exploration will be necessary to better evaluate the storage potential in aquifers [13]. These are found in the Ljubljana basin, the Celje basin, in the Slovenian part of the Pannonian basin and in the SW Flysch basin.…”

“…The figure below shows CO 2 emission sources and potential geological storage locations in Slovenian aquifers, unmineable coal fields and depleted oil/gas fields that have been assessed by the GeoCapacity Project [13] (Figure 1). …”

“…Desideri et al [14], for example, presented a feasibility study for a CO 2 capture and storage system in northern Italy (the most industrialized part of Italy). [13]. [13].…”

“…Sedimentary rocks at the appropriate depth for CO 2 storage are abundant in the country, although the geological structure is complex and requires further study. Extensive targeted exploration will be necessary to better evaluate the storage potential in aquifers [13].…”
