CO2GeoNet – European Network of pExcellence

Introduction

Alignment of national research programmes &reduction overlap with and between other CO2 Programmes.

Integrating ActivitiesJointly develop and share knowledge & research infrastructure. Durable integration leading to co-dependence and standardisation

Objectivesj• To integrate research strands into one project, building on the

integration and research successes already initiated;• To develop European test facilities and field laboratories as a

means of integrating research and researchers within the network;

• To further enhance the network capabilities by developing strong links with external organisations where their expertise or facilities are not found within the network;

• To complement and align with research efforts in other projects, most notably the industrial demonstration projects, both in Europe and internationally;

• To initiate the development of appropriate guidelines, standards and best practices necessary to develop relevant regulatory protocols.
