Upscaling and optimizing subsurface, in situ carbon mineralization as an economically viable industrial option

Leistungen

Selection of pilot gas charged seawater injection site

The report will evaluate three potential injection sites. The infrastructure (boreholes, vicinity to CO2 sources, power and water) will be evaluated with the aim of quantifying the probability of pilot CO2 injection sucess. All relevant geological information on the sites will be collected to assess the feasibility of these sites. The deliverable is related to Task T4.5.

Report on remediation strategy and best practices

The report will collect all monitoring data of injection parameters (flow, pressure and temperature) as well as chemistry of injected fluids and place them in context with data collected with the high resolution seismometer network and soil flux measurements. The report will investigate responses of the reservoir due to different initiation procedures of gas injection and identify most successful methods of preventing gas leaks through the injection wells. The deliverable is related to task T3.6.

Report on induced seismicity

Report on to what extent injecion of dissolved gases can cause induced seismicity and what can be done to minimize seismic events. The deliverable is related to tasks T3.3 and T3.6.

Baseline calibration of selected gas charged seawater injection site

The report will deliver results of soil flux measurements and chemical compostion of reservoir waters sampled during tracer tests at the selected injection site enabling determination of baseline conditions prior to any CO2 injection. The deliverable is related to task T4.7

Project Management and Innovation management plan

The project management and innovation management plan contains the description of partners’ roles, project procedures, structure and interaction of work‐packages, project schedule and innovation management strategy. The plan includes a schedule per task, responsible partner related subtasks, related deliverables, and dependencies on other tasks. The plan will be updated in months 18 and 30. The deliverable is linked to tasks T1.1 and T1.2.

Literature review of the behaviour of CO2-charged seawater on the reactivity of submarine basalts

A large effort has been made over the past several decades measuring experimentally the rates and extent of water-marine basalt interaction as a function of temperature. These papers wil be review to 1) provide a current description of the state-of-the-art and 2) to provide predictions of the behavoir of planned sub-seaflor injections. Deliverables include a) a report of the literature review, b) evaluation of the degree to which past experimental observations match predictions made by available geochemical modelling codes (e.g. PHREEQC) and c) recommendation for further experimenal work to be carried out by CarbFix2.

Report on the rate, extent and consequences and reaction in the subsurface determined by reactive transport modelling

Reactive transport modeling will be used to predict the rate and consequences of injecting CO2 into sub seafloor basalts. We will deliver a report of the results of this modelling effort available to the public on a dedicated website.

Procedure for communicating with authorities in response of unusual or significant changes in injection

Report on development and implementation of communication procedure, in cooperation with relevant authorities and nearby community leaders, for informing the authorities as well as the public of unusual or significant changes in injection which might lead to seismic events. The deliverable is related to task T6.4.

Report on the results of detailed gas-charged seawater-basalt interaction

Calibrated reactive transport model of submarine injection at the selected injection site

3D numerical models predicting the fate and reaction of CO2-H2S-seawater fluids injected under seabed will be developed in Task 4.6 and the results will be reported in D4.6. These simulations will be based on real hydrogeological data from the selected site offshore Reykjavic and will include the prediction of the extent of CO2 mineralisation and the reaction rates. The outcome presented in this deliverable must be the basis of further actions for the future deployment of under-seabed CO2 storage.

Report on CO2-SO2/H2S storage capacity within basaltic rocks in Europe and globally

Report on CO2-SO2/H2S storage capacity in basaltic rocks in Europe and globally. The deliverable is related to task T5.3.

CO2 and H2S soil flux measurement report

Soil flux measurements are carried out regularly to confirm that no leaks occur from the injection reservoir through the surface. The deliverable is related to tasks T3.1 and T3.3. This deliverable will be delivered in months 18 and 36.

Report on the effect of gas purity on solubility and mineral storage

The injection of CO2 gas stream with variable amount of impurities will be simulated with the reservoir model developed for deliverable D3.2 hence allowing the prediction of enhancement and/or inhibition of CO2 mineralisation at different locations in the reservoir. The deliverable is related to task T3.5

Report on the development of a seawater-based CO2-rich gas prototype capture system

The report will describe the construction of lab scale CO2 absorption tower relying on operation parameters from the capture plant on Hellisheidi but using sea-water as capture media. The task is related to task T4.3

Report on tracer breakthrough, characterization of transport processes and mineralization in reservoir

The report will contain results of tracer breakthrough in all monitoring wells to date which will quantify flow path volumes with the aid of the COMSOL code therefore enabling more accurate quantification of mineralisation of industrial scale CO2 injection. The deliverable is related to tasks T3.3, T3.4 and T3.5.
