CCS2022-2024 WP1: The Gassum structure. Seismic data and interpretation to mature potential geological storage of CO2

Research output: Book/ReportReport (publicly available)

Abstract

A new Danish Climate Act was decided by the Danish Government and a large majority of
the Danish Parliament on June 26th, 2020. It includes the aim of reducing the Danish green-
house gas emissions with 70% by 2030 compared to the level of emissions in 1990. The first
part of a new Danish CCS Strategy of June 30th, 2021 includes a decision to continue the
initial investigations of sites for potential geological storage of CO2 in Denmark. GEUS has
therefore from 2022 commenced seismic acquisition and investigations of potential sites for
geological storage of CO2 in Denmark.

The structures decided for maturation by the authorities are some of the largest structures
onshore Zealand, Jutland and Lolland and in the eastern North Sea (Fig. 1.1). The onshore
structures include the Havnsø, Gassum, Thorning, and Rødby structures, and in addition the
small Stenlille structure as a demonstration site. The offshore structures include the Inez,
Lisa and Jammerbugt structures. A GEUS Report is produced for each of the structures to
mature the structure as part of the CCS2022–2024 project towards potential geological stor-
age of CO2.
