The CASSEM project developed scientific knowledge and industry insight for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the UK North Sea. It assessed the storage potential of two saline aquifer formations near large coal power plants and applied a novel Features, Events and Processes method to explore risk perceptions. The project produced a full-chain costing model and included the first use of citizen panels to gauge public perception.
Use Cases
- Apply the novel Features, Events and Processes method from the project to analyze and model industry risk perceptions for CCS site selection.
- Utilize the full-chain costing model developed by CASSEM to assess economic viability of CO2 capture, transport, and storage scenarios.
- Analyze findings from the project's citizen panels to understand regional public perception data regarding geological CO2 storage.
- Evaluate storage potential assessments for saline aquifer formations conducted near large coal power plants as part of the site evaluation work.
Strengths
- Project focused on saline aquifer formations estimated to have capacity for 100 years of current UK fossil fuel power plant CO2 emissions.
- Methodology included the first use of citizen panels in the investigated regions to assess public perception of CCS.
- Work assessed the storage potential of two specific saline aquifer formations in proximity to large coal power plants.
Limitations
- The specific dataset contents, including column structure, row count, and file formats, are unknown from the provided description.
- Data may be primarily composed of project reports, models, and qualitative findings rather than structured, machine-readable tabular data.
