EDC Serial Number EDC0000152
Title Impact of Brine Production on Aquifer Storage of CO2
Data Location https://data.ukedc.rl.ac.uk/browse/edc/fossil/co2capture/Aquifer_Brine
EDC Stored Dataset
Description The Aquifer Brine project assessed the modeled impact of removing brine from potential undersea carbon dioxide stores on store capacity and costs using selected real locations and synthetic models. It followed on from the UK Storage Appraisal Project which assessed the UK CO2 storage capacity for CCS in offshore geological formations.

Other Information

The Aquifer Brine project assesses the potential for brine production through dedicated wells in target CO2 storage formations to increase CO2 storage capacity and reduce the overall cost of storage - as well as any other potential benefits for CO2 store operators associated with brine production.

It followed on from the UK Storage Appraisal Project.
