Press Release IDAEA-IMEDEA (CSIC)
Storing CO2 underground may be a safe solution to mitigate climate change, according to a CSIC study A study led by the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA) and the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA CSIC-UIB), both belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), has shown that injecting billions of tonnes …
New publication in Geophysical Research Letters
The open access article “Multi-layered systems for permanent geologic storage of CO2 at the gigatonne scale” of EASY GEO-CARBON team has been published in Geophysical Research Letters. The effectiveness of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as an imperative decarbonization technology relies on the sealing capacity of a fine-grained caprock to permanently store CO2 deep underground. …

New publication in Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
The article Hydro-mechanical response of Opalinus Clay in the CO₂ long-term periodic injection experiment (CO₂LPIE) at the Mont Terri rock laboratory of the EASY GEO-CARBON team has been published on 29th September. Guaranteeing the sealing capacity of caprocks becomes paramount as CO₂ storage scales up to the gigaton scale. A significant number of laboratory experiments …
