FEASIBILITY STUDY OF CO[sub]2[/sub] STORAGE IN SALINE FORMATIONS AND STRUCTURES OF THE UPPER SILESIAN COAL BASIN
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2012, Vol 448, Issue 448
Abstract
This article presents a study of possible locations for CO[sub]2[/sub] storage reservoirs in the brine aquifers in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. Based on the analysis of the geological structure and hydrogeological characteristics three brine aquifers have been designated for possible CO[sub]2[/sub] storage: two in the Carboniferous deposits – in the Up.er Silesian Sandstone Series and Cracow Sandstone Series – and one in the Miocene deposits of the Dębowiec Beds. Among these three series the most adequate conditions for potential CO[sub]2[/sub] storage are present in the Dębowiec Beds. The most promising area is located to the west of Bielsko-Biała between Cieszyn and Czechowice-Dziedzice. Capacity for CO[sub]2 [/sub]storage in this region is estimated at 40–60 Mt. Because a considerable part of the area is covered by the Nature 2000 protection and landscape parks, some problems may arise for the CO[sub]2[/sub] storage plans.
