The Environmental Research into CO₂ Storage Network aims to stimulate and nurture global collaboration and knowledge advancement in potential impacts of CO₂ Storage for Environmental Impact Assessments.

Background

The IEA Greenhouse Gas R & D Programme (IEAGHG) workshop in 2008: defining R & D needs to assess environmental impacts of potential leaks from CO₂ storage, hosted by the British Geological Survey in Keyworth, Nottingham; and the 2010 workshop: Natural Releases of CO₂: Building Knowledge for CO₂ Storage Environmental Impact Assessments, hosted by BGR in Maria Laach, Germany; highlighted the need for the establishment and expansion of a research community in the field of Environmental Impacts of CO₂ Storage and, a collated effort to draw together results in this field for much needed information on impacts and geological processes.  Following recommendations from these workshops and due to recognition of this extensive growing research field the IEAGHG approved the establishment of a new Workshop Series on Environmental Impacts of CO₂ Storage from 2012 onwards.
