OCTAVIUS FP7 Project - Useful links

OCTAVIUS is the successor of the 2 previous European projects CASTOR and CESAR on CO₂ capture in postcombustion.

The European Commission is also supporting several other R&D projects on the development of CCS technology.

Some of these projects are linked below.

Decarbit
Aim: Development of pre combustion capture technologies and novel capture technologies. The aim is to achieve a CO₂ capture cost of 15 euro/tonne CO₂. The project also includes plans for pilot testing.
Dynamis
Aim: Development of concepts for electricity and hydrogen production with CCS. The establishing a basis for a demonstration plant – called the Hypogen plant – is part of the project.
Encap
Aim: to develop and validate a number of pre combustion CO₂ capture technologies that can result in a CO₂ capture cost <20 euro per tonne CO₂ at a CO₂ capture rate of 90%
GeoCapacity
Aim: Assessing the European capacity of CO₂ storage
CO2sink
Aim: Physical injection of CCS in a storage site to investigate CO₂ behaviour after injection.
CO2ReMoVe
Aim: Research on monitoring and verification techniques for deep subsurface CO₂ storage.
Coach
Aim: preparing for a CCS demonstration plant in China.
Ecco
Aim: accelerating the development of CO₂ Capture and Storage (CCS) which is one of the main strategies to combat global warming.
Cocate tackles the problems of rolling out a shared transportation infrastructure capable of connecting geological storage sites with various medium size CO₂-emitting industrial facilities located within a close geographical proximity.
Porto Tolle is the ENEL full scale CCS demo project.
ROAD is the E-ON & GDF SUEZ full scale CCS demo project
