VASCO
France (2011-2012) - Geogreen is the project coordinator for this effort to develop a carbon management plan supported by a consortium of companies and public entities active in the industrial sectors around the Port of Marseille. Geogreen will perform an emissions source clustering and centralized emissions treatment (pooling) scenario development, the optimization of the emissions/CO2 collection systems and transport network, design and carbon and energy footprint analysis of the overall CO2 capture, transport and the eventual export scenarios to North Africa for EOR, CO2 valorization options around Marseille - including CO2 bio-remediation via micro-algae cultivation.

London/Canberra (2010-2011) - This global study, "Global Storage Resources Gap Analysis for Policy Makers", was performed by Geogreen for the IEA-GHG as commissioned by the Global CCS Institute. For the study Geogreen specifically performed a global "desk-based" storage suitability screening using publicly available geological data. In addition, Geogreen developed cost models, GIS and database implementation and analysis, CO2 storage project assessments, and ultimately performed an economic analysis using existing project data and locations so as to estimate a potential number of integrated CCS projects under development going to 2020. Furthermore, Geogreen analyzed how the 2050 emission-reduction objectives could be reached and where would new projects be required (source-to-sink).

 
 
UNIDO Report
Vienna (2010) - Geogreen completed a source-to-sink matching assessment that was then used for the UNIDO-IEA report: Technology Roadmap: Carbon Capture and Storage in Industrial Applications. The primary analyses performed by Geogreen included: source-to-sink matching for industrial emissions in non-OECD countries using the global storage suitability map produced for the IEA-GHG publication Global Storage Resources Gap Analysis for Policy Makers, as well as industrial CCS project development projections for the different regions of the study, identification of key road blocks for CCS deployment in developing economies, and recommendations to policy makers on how to best proceed. 

 
 
Groupe TIRU
France (2010) - Geogreen provided storage expertise to Groupe TIRU, who was interested in exploring emissions treatment options for a facility in the southwestern France. Specifically, Geogreen screened potential deep saline formations for CO2 storage suitability and assessed the potential for utilization through bio-remediation of the CO2 via micro-algae in collaboration with IFREMER. 

 
 
Kapsarc
Saudi Arabia (2010-2011) - Geogreen worked closely with KAPSARC (the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center) along with BRGM and IFPEN to them elaborate a sustainable development strategy regarding emissions growth and CCS and utilization/valorization (CCUS) project deployment in the Kingdom. Specifically, Geogreen produced source-to-sink match strategy recommendations using a Geogreen-BRGM-IFPEN developed geographic information system-based decision support system (GIS-DSS), Geogreen specifically contributed the emissions source and transport layers/functions for the GIS-DSS, offered strategic advice regarding CCUS development and roadmaps throughout the kingdom, and authored a book giving a global status and outlook for CCS technology development and deployment.
