QICS2 Scoping Project: Exploring the viability and scientific opportunities of a follow-on marine impact project
A key element of risk assessment for the geological storage of CO2 offshore is the monitoring of transport of leaks from the subsurface via shallow sediments in the marine environment, including its effect on the ecosystem. In 2012, the NERC-funded QICS project constructed the first marine in situ controlled subseabed release facility for CO2 in the world in Ardmucknish Bay, Oban when 4.2 tonnes of CO2 was injected. There is significant international interest in this University of Edinburgh, PML unique facility and the project provides an opportunity for the UK to consolidate & SAMS its leadership in environmental monitoring and impact studies for CCS. This scoping project will explore with the local community, stakeholders and the broader scientific community the viability and potential scientific goals for a follow on project, with the capability of delivering useful knowledge at the start of the UK CCS commercialisation program.

MMV AND M&R including remote or in situ, for deep water and along transport network
The project will three-dimensionally image hydraulically conductive features in the reservoir, caprock and overburden of an active CO2 injection site: the Aquistore site, Canada. Our research will provide important information on potential migration pathways within the storage complex to inform future 3D mapping of large-scale monitoring strategies at the Aquistore site and at future storage sites. We will subsurface flow pathways monitor micro-seismic events prior to, and during, CO2 injection using a threeusing nanoseismic monitoring component nanoseismic surface monitoring array which will complement data collected by the existing geophone network at the site. This analysis can be used to provide deep focussed monitoring information on permeability enhancement near the injection point. As injection continues it will also enable imaging of any flowing features within the caprock.

The research will explore how CCS pipeline networks can react Flexible CCS Network effectively to short, medium and long term variations in the availability and Development flow of CO2 from capture plants, as well as responding to the constraints imposed on the system by the ability (or otherwise) of CO2 storage facilities to accept variable flow. This project will determine the dew point of water, or "water solubility", in impure CO2 mixtures (e.g. containing N2 and H2). At present, key data for defining water levels have not been determined. The data are important because liquid water is highly acidic in the presence of excess CO2; this acidity can be increased by trace amounts of SO2 and H2S and acidity will greatly accelerate corrosion. This research will provide the first accurate data for CO2 transportation systems, which can be used to develop accurate equations of state and define more robust pipeline specifications. These in turn can be applied to inform cost benefit analyses on the additional costs on the pipeline material and construction balanced against the cost of purification and the needs of safety. The research will provide critical physical property data to enable the safe and cost effective transportation of CO2. modelling the phase behaviour of impure carbon dioxide, under the conditions typically found in carbon capture from power stations, and in high-pressure (liquid phase) and low-pressure (gas phase) pipelines. This project will use cutting-edge computer algorithms to automatically reparameteriseEoS for CCS modelling.

Mineralisation: using novel algae and high-efficiency bioreactor technology to create high value chemicals from captured CO2 feasibility project to determine novel & cost effective method to convert captured CO2 into commodity product via a mineralisation process using a new genetically engineered microalgae. and a patented microbubble technology within a bioreactor-based process
