The main objective is to assess the European capacity for geological storage of CO2 in deep saline aquifers, oil and gas structures and coal beds. Other priorities are further development of methods for capacity assessment, economic modelling and site selection as well as international cooperation, especially with China. The results of GeoCapacity include 25 countries and comprise most European sedimentary basins suitable for geological storage of CO2. The Work in GeoCapacity has been structured in 7 work packages: • WP1: Inventory of emissions and infrastructure, GIS • WP2: Storage capacity • WP3: Economic use of CO2 • WP4: Standards and site selection criteria • WP5: Economic evaluations • WP6: International cooperation • WP7: Project management This document is deliverable D16 WP2 Report Storage Capacity and provides a description of the work carried out in WP2. It also provides a summary of capacity estimates for deep saline aquifers, hydrocarbon fields and coal beds for each country and brief descriptions of the methodology used and assumptions made. Geological descriptions and further details and background information for the storage capacity estimates in the GeoCapacity GIS database appear from the following more technical reports: • Deliverable D11/D12 Geological information and storage capacity of deep saline aquifers • Deliverable D17 Assessment of the capacity for the use of CO2 in hydrocarbon fields • Deliverable D18 Assessment of potential for CO2 usage in coal fields • Deliverable D19 GeoCapacity economic use of CO2 in hydrocarbon fields • Deliverable D20 Calculation of amount of CO2 that could be stored in coal beds The participating countries have been divided into three geographical groups facilitating regional cooperation. The groups comprise new countries
