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 ...

Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys can enhance the quantity and quality of information, when applied to archaeological prospection. The potential of the GPR method lies in its relevance to a wide range of site conditions and the complementary nature of the data in comparison with other geophysical methods. The Aegyssus archaeological site is located on the Monument Hill, in the north-eastern section of Tulcea, and was built at the end of the 4th century B.C. Its name, of celtic origin, derived from the legenda...

The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (DDBR) covers around 580,000 hectares, where the waters of the Danube enter the Black Sea. It is the second largest and the best preserved of Europe?s deltas; its dynamic, relatively wild ecosystem supports a rich diversity of wetland habitats, numerous lakes, ponds and over 330 species of birds and 45 species of freshwater fish [1]. The region has a long history and the DDBR includes a number of Iron Age fortified sites, remnants of Greek and Roman settlements, and early Christi...

In more than ten years of research in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Romania, several regions have been highlighted for their potential to contribute to the implementation of the technology in the country. Their delimitation has been made around large industrial stationary sources where promising storage and utilization options were available, considering favorable transport routes and small transport distances. The most promising and most studied regions for Romania are Oltenia and Galati. Olten...

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...
