Scottish CO2 Hub Working Paper: CCS Development in the North Sea

A technical report from January 2016 authored by the British Geological Survey. It examines the development of a Scottish CO2 Hub to unlock carbon capture and storage potential in the UK and Europe. The report focuses on providing early access to storage in the Central North Sea and creating value through CO2 utilisation.

Use Cases

• Modeling CCS infrastructure deployment based on the proposed Scottish CO2 Hub concept.
• Assessing geological storage risk and capacity in the Central North Sea region.
• Evaluating economic value and pathways for CO2 utilisation mentioned in the report.
• Analyzing energy policy and regional cooperation opportunities for North Sea CCS.

Strengths

• Authored by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).
• Focuses on a specific, well-characterised geological region: the Central North Sea.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
