Description
Summary:This lecture addresses the main challenges associated to the design of a CCS project and its subsequent installation and operation focusing on the Portuguese mainland as a case study. The work targets national sedimentary basins and based on the existing literature screens these basins to found suitable geologic formation for the permanent and safe CO2 geological storage. Several geological formations were identified as potential CO2 reservoirs most of them situated offshore. The assessment of risks associated to the geological storage of CO2 are considered based on a qualitative methodology.
