Europe/France (2011-2015) - The ULTIMATE CO2 Project, funded by the European FP7, is aimed at the investigation of the long-term fate of CO2 within a geological storage and will examine the physical behavior of the geology with experimentation at the core- and well-scale. Geogreen's participation entails the evaluation of the long-term fate of CO2 in the context of the ULCOS exploration permit in northeastern France. 

France, Netherlands, and the North Sea (2010-2012) - The EU Funded COCATE R&D project focuses on emission management and transport. The aim of the study is to assess the potential for flue gas or other fluid pooling so as to devise common emission collection systems for industries within the area around Le Havre and to design a CO2 export system for transporting the emissions to the Rotterdam hub, from where they will be sent to an eventual storage location in the North Sea. For both the local CO2/emissions transport/collection networks and the cross-border CO2 export systems, a range of technical options are proposed and assessed from risk, economic, and network management standpoints. Geogreen is the leader of the economic work package and is deeply involved in the design tasks. Geogreen's tasks involved the emissions source clustering and collective emissions treatment (pooling) scenario development, optimization of the emissions/CO2 collection systems and transport network as well as the economic analysis and cost optimization of the overall CO2 capture, transport and the eventual export scenarios to Rotterdam.
