Capture, Storage and Use of CO₂ (CCUS): Sedimentological description of Gassum and Fjerritslev Formations from cores in the Stenlille area, with interpretations of depositional environments (Part of Work packages 6 in the CCUS project)

Late 2019, GEUS was asked to lead research initiatives in 2020 related to technical barriers for Carbon Capture, Storage and Usage (CCUS) in Denmark and to contribute to establishment of a technical basis for opportunities for CCUS in Denmark. The task encompasses (1) the technical potential for the development of cost-effective CO2 capture technologies, (2) the potentials for both temporary and permanent storage of CO2 in the Danish subsurface, (3) mapping of transport options between point sources and usage locations or storage sites, and (4) the CO2 usage potentials, including business case for converting CO2 to synthetic fuel production (PtX). The overall aim of the research is to contribute to the establishment of a Danish CCUS research centre and the basis for 1-2 large-scale demonstration plants in Denmark.

The present report forms part of Work package 6 and focuses on sedimentological characteristics of the Gassum and Fjerritslev Formations in the Stenlille area.
