Active projects

The SCCS Secretariat are involved in major funded projects in a variety of ways including project management, public engagement, providing communication, dissemination and IT services, and research input from within the team as well as from our Partner Institutes.

Our current projects are described here with links to their websites and reports. To view completed projects click here.

  • PilotSTRATEGY

    PilotSTRATEGY aims to advance understanding of deep saline aquifers (DSA) for geological CO2 storage in five European industrial regions. DSAs have much promise and potential for CO2 storage, yet are not well studied. There is a need to increase knowledge of these sites to enable faster deployment of CCS.

    PilotSTRATEGY is a successor project to STRATEGY CCUS, which identified storage capacity as the most uncertain factor in long-term implementation planning for CCS. PilotSTRATEGY is a five-year project funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme and coordinated by BRGM, the French Geological Survey. SCCS is leading the dissemination and impact activities of this project.

  • CO₂SafeQuest

    CO2SafeQuest aims at enhancing integrity risk assessment of CO2 storage sites containing geological faults and providing solutions to reduce fault's risks of reactivation and leakage during CO2 storage operations, thus ensuring long term containment of the CO2 and security of the storage. This project especially aims at closing remaining gaps in understanding of the dynamic changes of fault zones by providing new experimental results and modelling workflows.

    SCCS will contribute to CO2SafeQuest by leading WP5 (reporting and knowledge community), by establishing a standard guidance for CCS risk communication and will conduct communication and dissemination activities for the project.
