Climate Change Game-Changer: How CO2 Could Be Stored to Heat Our Homes

Climate Change Game-Changer: How CO2 Could Be Stored to Heat Our Homes

Here's what the latest research might do. 

 

Ongoing work is aimed at preparing the first CO2 injection tests in an existing geothermal doublet. This will validate the essence of the CO2-Dissolved concept, by testing in particular the injection device and the methods of continuous monitoring of the CO2 dissolution in the water of the injection well. The next step will be to implement, on an industrial site, a first demonstrator of the full technology.
