The Romanian storage sites for CO2 geological storage are located in the Oltenia Region, in the south – western part of Romania, within a 50 km radius circle around Turceni Power Plant. This zone comprises a part of the Getic Depression and a small part of the western sector of the Moesian Platform, two of the main geological units bearing oil and gas deposits, which were explored and studied over the years. In this zone of investigation only aquifers in the Tertiary formations have been considered as potentially ...

Related to the Southern part of Romania, from our previous and present CCUS studies, the industrial CO2 emissions - verified on 2017, the appropriate geological structures for CO2 storage as well as oil and gas deposits for EOR and EGR, are well documented. GeoEcoMar is the single Romanian organization having in the same time high professional experience in the complex geological and geophysical studies on the Danube and the Western Black Sea Basin as well as in the CCUS studies. Evolving environmental regulatory ...

Implementation of carbon capture and storage is vital for the reduction of CO2 emissions from industrial sources and for the financial survival of emitters in Romania. Although in the last two decades, a reduction of industrial emissions was seen and the emissions verified for 2019 are almost half of the emissions from 2007, the need to reduce CO2 emissions still exists on the pathway for a green economy and a green energy future. Decarbonizing industry can be made only by increasing the share of renewables in the...
