Centre for Geological Storage

Head: Dr. habil. Axel Liebscher

Research of the Centre of Geological Storage focuses on the possibilities and conditions of long-term and safe storage of carbon dioxide in the underground. CO₂ storage is an increasingly considered option to avoid CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere. Therefore, new technologies to monitor CO₂ in deep porous rocks are developed and tested, and fluid-rock interactions are thoroughly investigated. Close to the small town Ketzin in Brandenburg a test site for CO₂ storage which is unique on the European continent is operated in international collaboration by the Centre of CO₂ Storage.
