‘BGS geologists are studying the subsurface geology, sandstone connectivity, and sealing layers to ensure safe, long-term storage,’ said the BGS in a statement. ‘The central North Sea, which represents about 60% of the UK’s total carbon storage capacity, is relatively under-studied compared with other regions like the southern North Sea and Irish Sea.
‘BGS aims to better understand and characterise this high-potential storage system to accelerate the UK’s CCS industry and help meet the target of storing 170 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2050.’
