The Campo de Calatrava Volcanic Field (CCVF) located in central-southern Spain (along with Selva-Emporda in Catalonia, NE Spain) is regarded as one of the most important CO2 emitting zones in Peninsular Spain. Here, we report and evaluate new …

CO2 soil flux baseline at the technological development plantfor CO2injection at Hontomin (Burgos, Spain)

From the end of 2013 and during the following two years, 20 kt of CO2sc are planned to be injected in a saline reservoir (1500 m depth) at the Hontomín site (NE Spain). The target aquifers are Lower Jurassic limestone formations which are sealed by …

Sampling strategies using the “accumulation chamber” for monitoring geological storage of CO2

Fundación Ciudad de la Energía (CIUDEN) is carrying out a project of geological storage of CO2, where CO2 injection tests are planned in saline aquifers at a depth of 1500 m for scientific objectives and project demonstration. Before any CO2 is …
