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.
