  • July: BRGM 2016 annual report

The follow-up project PILOTE CO2-DISSOLVED was announced in the 2016 BRGM annual report.

Objective: Capture the CO2 emitted from an industrial plant, then inject it in dissolved form for permanent storage in a deep saline aquifer, whilst also recovering heat via a geothermal doublet for local use (e.g. at industrial facility for processing, supply to a heating network, etc.)

  • July: BRGM 2015 annual report

  

The main results of the CO2-DISSOLVED project are presented in  ​a two-page article in the 2015 edition of the BRGM annual report (pp.48-49). In the "Geological Storage" chapter, our project is highlighted as a 'flagship project' developing an alternative to massive centralized storage, as underlined by Pierre Toulhat, BRGM Deputy Managing Director and Scientific Director (p. 45): "An alternative solution now emerging is to use smaller storage units in geothermal reservoirs located close to certain industrial sources of CO2 emissions. The idea is to develop small-scale injection systems into geothermal reservoirs whose properties are known, as many are already used to supply heating networks. The BRGM has begun work on this idea with the CO2 Dissolved project." The article can be read online and downloaded here (p48-49) or downloaded as a pdf at the bottom of this page, in the 'Attached files' section.

  • January: Report on the outcomes of the 9th Co2GeoNet Open Forum (20 - 22 May 2014, San Servolo Island, Venice, Italy)

This report presents the key results of this conference. The theme of this 9th edition was ‘Horizon CO2 storage’ in reference to the new European Framework Programme Horizon 2020 which will support research and innovation for decarbonisation including CCS. Among the key results highlighted in this report, the CO2-DISSOLVED project is presented as a way to offset the costs of CCS due to the geothermal energy recovery. The CO2-DISSOLVED results presented at this conference (presentation available here) focused on the compatible industrial sites that could be potentially targeted for a future pilot project. The full report can be downloaded here.

  • January: Pour la Science (issue #435)

In this journal, which is the French edition of Scientific American, an article by Steven L. Bryant presented a "way to make carbon storage pay" by proposing to combine injection of dissolved CO2 in deep geothermal brines of the U.S. Gulf Coast with both heat and methane extraction. Some similarities with the CO2-DISSOLVED concept in terms of combination of dissolved CO2 injection and recovery of geothermal energy can be noticed, even though the geological context has to be really specific in Bryant's proposal to be applicable. The BRGM was asked by a Pour la Science's journalist about the existence of similar studies in France. It was mainly answered (click on image beside)  that France's underground did not provide similar resources (deep hot brines, saturated with methane) but, among others, the idea of coupling CCS and geothermal heat recovery was under study in the framework of the CO2-DISSOLVED project. The full article (in French), including the short insert presenting BRGM's point of view, can be bought and downloaded here.

 
  • March: Géoscopie

Géoscopie is the tool of the AVENIA competitive cluster dedicated to technological watch on Geosciences. In this month review of the press, an article (in French) presenting the CO2-DISSOLVED project is published. This article refers to the  presentation of the project recently added to both the French and the English versions of the BRGM website.

 
  • June: l'Est Républicain and Euréka

L'Est Républicain is a French daily of the Lorraine and Franche-Comté regions (East of France).
