Poland

• Upper Silesian Basin, Poland (Kaniow)• Available site, infrastructure, contacts• Initial sub-optimal conditions for injection and production, therefore optimal for technology and methodology development and testing• Extension to other areas (Europe, Asia)

MOVECBM site = RECOPOL site



Project MOVECBM Monitoring & verification of CO2 storage and ECBM in Poland

The main objective of the work is to prove reliability and safety, in the long term, of the CO2 stored in ECBM and to provide the R&D

necessary to have a basis for monitoring, measurement and verification leading to guidelines for site certification and broadly

accepted standards.

• Experimental test sites for Monitoring and Verification of CO2 Storage with Enhanced Coal Bed Methane

• Development of tools to study the long term behaviour of CO2 in CBM reservoirs as well as to prove storage integrity
