The lack of appraisal of CO2 storage sites is considered a key hurdle to progressing CCS in the UK.
This UKStore project will screen, select and progress appraisal of 5 CO2 stores, applying international best practice.
The methodology involves screening over 500 aquifer and depleted hydrocarbon fields to select the most suitable 20, and then assessing the suitability of these to select 5.
The 5 selected sites will be appraised to materially progress understanding and reduce risk.
