On-shore CO2 storage at the Ketzin pilot site in Germany

Abstract: This chapter provides a comprehensive description of research and development work performed, and experiences gained, at the Ketzin CO 2 storage pilot site in Germany. The Ketzin pilot site was the first European on-shore CO 2 storage project and is still the only German CO 2 storage project. Since summer 2008 more than 67 kt of CO 2 have been successfully injected into Upper Triassic sandstones. A world-class integrated monitoring approach images the behaviour of injected CO 2 in the subsurface and proves safe implementation of CO 2 storage at Ketzin. The pilot site provides a well-suited case study for any future German or worldwide CO 2 storage projects.
