COMET
FINAL Events
Lisbon|December|2012
During the 12 th and 13 th of December, the 7 th Framework Programme project COMET, is organizing several events, in Lisbon.
COMET aims at identifying and assessing the most cost effective infrastructure(s) of CO
2 transport and geologic storage that will be able to serve the West Mediterranean area:
Portugal, Spain and Morocco.
The project has considered the temporal and spatial aspects of the development of the energy sector and other industrial activities in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, as well as the location, capacity and availability of potential CO
2
storage in geological formations. Special attention was given to a balanced decision on transport modes, matching sources and sinks, addressing safety and lifetime objectives, meeting optimal cost - benefit trade-offs, for developing a CCS network infrastructure as part of an international cooperation policy.

The large scale deployment of CCS involves connecting one or more large stationary CO
2 sources to one or more geological storage sites. Optimising transport costs for any given case requires a balanced decision on transport modes and a rigorous matching of CO
2
source and sink. Safe transport of CO
2
requires that the different components of the infrastructure (e.g. pipeline, ship and equipment materials) are sufficiently advanced to meet safety and environmental requirements.
On September 2008 the EU Commission has presented a call of proposals for projects on
September 2008 on Towards an infrastructure for CO
2
transport and storage addressing transport cost, safety of components or systems, infrastructure lifetime or a combination of these issues. Three projects were selected to start on January 2010: COMET, Co2pipehaz and
Cocate.
The expected impact of the results from these projects will support the progress in this area and will allow the safe and commercial deployment of large scale implementation of CCS in
Europe. The day will be dedicated to the presentation of the technical results from European projects on CO2 Capture Transport and Storage infrastructures. The scope of the event is to assess the progress made in the different research projects and identify perspectives for CCS.
