Measuring, monitoring and controlling the risks of CCS, EGS and unconventional hydrocarbons
in the subsurface |
Description of call "Measuring, monitoring and controlling the risks of CCS, EGS and unconventional hydrocarbons in the subsurface" | Carbon capture and storage (CCS), enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) and unconventional gas development impact on the subsurface. Subsequently, advanced and cost effective monitoring of the containment of underground CO2 and natural gas is vital for the sustainable management of the subsurface and its resources. Research is needed to better understand and quantify possible (natural and engineered) leakage pathways for natural gas, the rates of leakage into aquifers and escape at surface, the impacts that leakage can have on fresh groundwater resources, soil and biodiversity, and the time frame in which emissions will return to baseline values. In addition, the effective detection and quantification of leakage requires a scientifically robust method for determining natural background concentrations of CO2 and natural gas in the soil and at the surface. Uniform, unbiased and independent data are needed to improve environmental stewardship in all three aforementioned geo-energy applications. |
