Towards a true synergy between CCS and geothermal activities

The expected results will provide us with a range of innovating technologies associated with new experimental and theoretical tools. These will include: a device for capturing and dissolving CO₂; monitoring tools; an experimental laboratory "miniature well"; coupled models for simulating coupled flow, mass, heat transfer, and geochemistry; and an economic model. Promising industrial applications can be envisaged by the end of this 36 month project, provided that the conclusions on the feasibility of the concept of CO₂ injection coupled with geothermal-heat recovery are positive.
