The objective of the RISCS project is to provide research on
environmental impacts to underpin frameworks for the safe management of CO2
storage sites. RISCS will improve knowledge important
for both storage site operators and regulators for impacts
of leaks of CO2 on near surface ecosystems – both in terrestrial and marine
environments. In the project it will be conducted field
laboratory experiments, measurements at natural leakage sites and numerical
simulations, for both marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
The project will develop a Guide for Impacts
Appraisal, which will provide a clear summary of the key risk issues
that may need to be adressed when developing, operating and closing a storage
site. ZERO will mainly participate in the project contributing to communication strategy for good communication
of the safety of CO2 storage, in addition to be a part of the advisory board for the project together with CO2CRC from Australia, ZERT and Stanford University (US), University of Regina (Canada) and IEA-GHG.
