QICS2 Scoping: Poster on Marine CO2 Release Experiment and Monitoring

4.2 tonnes of CO2 were injected over 37 days in the 2012 QICS1 experiment, the world's first sub-seabed CO2 release. This poster from the British Geological Survey describes the project's findings on monitoring technology, environmental impacts, and CO2 dispersion. It was presented at a CSLF poster reception in London on June 27, 2016.

Use Cases

• Reviewing monitoring technologies for detecting sub-seabed CO2 leaks based on the described field test.
• Assessing potential ecosystem impacts of leaked CO2 based on the project's environmental findings.
• Modeling the flow and fate of CO2 in marine sediments based on the experimental results.
• Scoping the scientific viability of a follow-on marine impact project based on the QICS1 experiment outcomes.

Strengths

• Describes a first-of-its-kind, completed field experiment with specific metrics: 4.2 tonnes of CO2 released over 37 days.
• Outlines three clear scientific outcomes: technology testing, impact assessment, and exploration of CO2 flow and dispersion.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single poster; the underlying experimental data is not directly provided.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
