- New capture processes
.
More cost-effective processes (reduction of the investment
and of the energy consumption)
.
Direct oxygen transfer to the combustion stage ('chemical
looping', adsorption-desorption, membranes)
- Improving the reliability of underground storage
.
Development of predictive modelling tools
.
Monitoring methods (seismic and geochemical)
- Investigation of new underground storage sites
.
Identifying new underground storage sites (especially deep
aquifers)
.
Alternative storage modes (including
in situ
mineralisation)
.
Recycling captured carbon
.
Use of captured carbon for producingmaterials, chemicals or
synthetic fuels (consuming a low carbon energy)
- Carbon sinks
.
Rapidly growing biomass for improving the kinetics of CO
