PilotSTRATEGY aims to advance understanding of deep saline aquifers (DSA) for geological CO2 storage in five European industrial regions. DSAs have much promise and potential for CO2 storage, yet are not well studied. There is a need to increase confidence in and understanding of these sites to enable faster deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS), an essential set of technologies for combatting climate change. CCS involves capturing CO2 and injecting it into the subsurface for safe and permanent storage.
