CCS world projects: Ketzin
Project Overview
The CO2SINK project aims to gain a better understanding and greater knowledge of CO2 storage techniques, through injection of CO2 into a saline aquifer, and through the development of an in situ laboratory for CO2 storage. Approximately 30,000 tonnes of CO2 will be injected into a saline aquifer, which underlies a redundant gas storage reservoir between 600 and 700m, near Ketzin, west of Berlin, Germany. The project began in April 2004, and injection is anticipated to begin in 2008.
