GESTCO case study 2a-1 : storage potential of the Bunter Sandstone in the UK sector of the Southern North Sea and the adjacent onshore area of eastern England

Abstract

This case study, is the published product of the GESTCO project - a study by the British
\nGeological Survey (BGS) and eight other organisations; BGR, BRGM, GEUS, GSB, IGME,
\nNITG-TNO, NGU and Ecofys. GESTCO is an acronym for European Potential for Geological
\nStorage of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion. The goal of this project is to determine whether
\ngeological storage of CO2 is a viable method of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil
\nfuel combustion, capable of widespread application.
