WP4Pilot Development

WP4 will provide detailed information as to the optimum development concept for each of the proposed pilots (Paris, Lusitanian and Ebro Basins) to help decide whether they are viable. It will also formulate pilot designs for the secondary sites. 

 

  • Provide detailed information to enable decisions on viability of each pilot from technical, commercial, social, environmental and regulatory points of view
  • Decisions to be based on a pilot investment proposal for the three promising regions
  • Develop pilot designs for the secondary sites in West Macedonia and Upper Silesia
  • Analyse strategic information to identify and address risks, and enable commitment of resources to maximise chances of success
  • Build and consider robust project life-cycles
