2) Activities:
Overview of activities undertaken by the Chair during the reporting period
Article 2 of the Chair Agreement between Cardiff University and UNESCO states the following:
“The purpose of the Chair shall be to promote an integrated system of research, training,
information and documentation in the field of the development of a sustainable geoenvironment.
It will serve as a means of facilitating collaboration between high-level, internationally recognized
researchers and teaching staff of the University and other institutions in the United Kingdom and
elsewhere in Europe and North America and in other regions of the world.
In the first phase, the Chair has focused on experiential learning using field demonstration projects
designed to conserve and protect vulnerable groundwater resources in rural India and, building on
the solution sets developed in India, the Chair will use these as a template for testing and
application in West Africa, consistent with priorities determined by NEPAD and ministerial
meetings.
In phase 2, additional funding will be sought to extend the South-North-South exchange to other
African countries.

iii) Research
During 2014, the centre has hosted six undergraduate
/postgraduate students from Polytechnic Paris UPMC for
programmes of three-month internships. The students have
been trained to work on various applied research topics
related to geoenergy and the geoenvironment. The students
have been supervised by the Chair, Prof. Hywel Thomas, the
Research Fellow, Dr Majid Sedighi and other senior
researchers at the centre. The programme of training
included interactive discussions and learning sessions, short
term research projects, computational modelling and
preparation of reports.
 Cardiff University’s Global Challenge Award:
The Geoenvironmental Research Centre (GRC) has received
5
the Global Challenge Award for its pioneering work in nuclear
waste disposal. Recognised as an ‘exemplar of excellence’ by
Cardiff University for its work with the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) on how clay barriers used in nuclear
waste disposal will perform. The Global Challenge Award is
one of five Innovation and Impact Awards.
 Research in sustainable geo-energy: Research has been
continued during the period of the report on low carbon geoenergy applications.
a) Research developments in ground source heat area: In
the ground source heat area, monitoring of field scale
experiments for horizontal ground source heat, vertical
borehole and heat extraction from mine water have been
pursued. A PhD research programme, supervised by the Chair
and Dr. Majid Sedighi, the research fellow, has been
successfully completed.
WDS Green Energy, an industrial partner of the GRC was
nominated for an award at the British Renewable Energy
Awards 2014, for collaborative work on ground source heat.
The research work being carried out on mine water heat
recovery was presented to Welsh Assembly Members. The
presentation focussed on The Crynant Project: a ground
source heat pump system that utilises mine water from the
Cefn Coed mine near Neath to meet the heat and hot water
demands of a large farmhouse, workshops, and an adjoining
Physiotherapy Centre. This project, carried out jointly by WDS
Green Energy and Cardiff University`s Geoenvironmental
Research Centre, is the first of its kind in the UK to use this
source of heat energy.
b) Research developments in the carbon sequestration area:
Research on sequestration of carbon dioxide in coal and soil
has been continued. Two PhD research programmes have
been successfully completed. These two studies have
delivered advanced understanding of key processes during
carbon sequestration in coal and methane recovery through
experimental and theoretical approaches.
c) Development of a multi-criteria decision support system
for geoenvironmental problems: A PhD programme on the
use of decision support systems (DSS) has been successfully
completed. As a result of this work, a new multi-criteria
spatial decision support system has been developed which
provides an integrated social, environmental and public
health platform for geoenergy and geoenvironmental
applications.
 Preparation and Submission of research applications
6
a) Successful research application for a National Research
Network for Carbon Sequestration: A research grant has
been awarded to develop a national network to undertake
fundamental work to characterise and enhance geologic
carbon storage systems and groundwater heating systems in
Wales. A major collaborative network will be established
between Aberystwyth the Chair, Aberystwyth University and
the British Geologic Survey, Wales. A whole system
experimental, modelling and field approach will be developed
to explore low carbon energy in Wales, by characterising and
enhancing geologic carbon storage systems and groundwater
heating systems in Wales, spanning interfaces between
geosphere-hydrosphere and atmosphere, and utilising
modelling from the pore to reservoir scale. The project’s
budget is in total £770,000 and will run for four years.
b) Joint research application with KAERI to EPSRC on
geological disposal of HLW: A project proposal involving the
GRC and Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI),
Republic of Korea, has been submitted to the EPSRC. The
research proposed aims to advance the knowledge
developed on coupled THM and THCM behaviour of
compacted clay buffer with an emphasis on the importance
of chemistry and related phenomena on the overall
performance of the buffer. Further examination of the
validity via experimental testing and numerical code
development/comparison will be achieved through close
collaboration between the existing expertise at the GRC and
KAERI.
c) Research application to Sêr Cymru National Research
Network for Low Carbon Energy and the Environment (NRNLCEE): A proposal has been prepared and submitted to
develop a sustainable network to investigate the potential for
improving long-term carbon capture, by strengthening the
enzymic latch with additional phenolic inhibitors. Further
enhancement of Carbon-sequestration will also be sought
through a novel application of localised cooling to further
retard decomposition, while simultaneously generating Cbenefits in the form of heating for local communities. A
collaborative network between Bangor University, the Chair
and Aberystwyth University is proposed.
e) Submission of a joint application to US DOE: A joint
proposal was submitted to the US Department of Energy. The
ultimate goal of this project is to comprehensively investigate
induced seismicity potential due to CO2 injection for storage
and utilisation purposes. To accomplish this goal, the
proposed project will integrate numerical modelling,
experiential tests and field data to tackle different aspects of
this challenging problem. This research project is a multi-
7
institutional multi-national collaboration among Mississippi
State University, University of Vermont, University of Bristol
(from UK) and Cardiff University (from UK). The project will
also benefit from financial and technical support provided by
energy producer Southern Company and the Southern States
Energy Board (SSEB).
b) Conferences/Meetings
(key conferences and meetings organized by the Chair or to which its Chairholder contributed)

The characterisation and respiratory health effects of coal fly ash: In April 2014 the Chair
hosted a lecture by Dr Tim Jones, Senior Lecturer in Environmental Geology from School of
Earth and Ocean Sciences, Cardiff University on the characterisation and respiratory health
effects of coal fly ash. Over 600 million tons of coal fly ash (CFA) is produced annually
worldwide as a by-product of coal combustion. Most of the CFA is disposed of in landfills or
used in the construction industry; however a proportion is released into the environment
where it presents a respiratory hazard. Predominantly composed of 'dirty glass' CFA has also
a mineral component that is dependent on factors such as the coal feedstock, processing and
combustion parameters. Microscopic CFA particles can enter into the human lung where
they generate reactive oxygen species, potentially initiating disease pathways and shortening
people's lives.

Seminar on mine water potential in Wales: In May 2014 a seminar on mine water potential
in Wales was hosted. Mine water initiatives can provide a focus for sustainable regeneration
of former mining areas, demonstrating a low carbon and renewable energy resources that
can deliver heating and cooling for communities, industrial schemes and commercial
developments. These schemes may also facilitate large district heating networks serving the
local community and address critical issues such as fuel poverty and social depravation. The
Workshop aimed at looking the potential and challenges related to the application of this
resource in Wales. The seminar included academics, professional and industrial experts,
opened by the Energy advisor to the Welsh Government. The chair holder, Prof Hywel
Thomas and the research fellow of the Chair, Dr Majid Sedighi also presented the overall
research activities around the area of low carbon geoenergy at this seminar.

Royal Geographical Society Lecture: In October 2014, the GRC hosted the Royal
Geographical Society’s Evening Lecture, entitled ‘Integrated natural resource management: a
return to traditional geography?’ was presented by Dr Emyr Roberts, Chief Executive at
Natural Resources Wales. Integrated natural resource management is one of the main
objectives for the new environmental organisation Natural Resources Wales, and Dr Roberts’
Lecture explained to what extent this represents a return to earlier geographic approaches.

PETRUS III Meeting: In March 2014, the GRC hosted the PETRUS III meeting. PETRUS III is a a
European project which aims at sharing common frameworks for education and training
(E&T) to secure the overall provision and reduce the risk of training shortage especially in
countries with modest nuclear facilities. Sustainable E&T in geological disposal are of central
importance and requires significant participation of the parties involved and also perennial
structure for management and organization.

Referring to the “Proposed schedule of major activities” shown in section 2, attention will be
focussed in phase 2, on work package 7 (WP7) Development Strategy - Expansion of SouthSouth and South-North-South Collaboration.
The main aim of this component is to strengthen already existing collaborations and build new
partnerships moving towards North-South, South-South (e.g. India to sub-Saharan African
member countries) and triangular (South – North – South) cooperation.
Also, a program for an active exchange for students and researchers coordinated by the
UNESCO Chair will be developed.
Partnerships and infrastructure developed during Phase 1 will be actively used to implement
this component. In particular E-learning facilities and advanced portal GRC CUBE will be used
to facilitate further collaboration and training enabling the roll out of developed and tested
solutions to other African countries.
Additionally, the Chair will continue working in the area of geo-energy, within the following
geo-energy themes:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
Ground Source Heat
Underground Coal Gasification
Carbon Sequestration in Coal and Soil
Geoinformatics: Low carbon toolkit
Advanced Computational Modelling
The above research will be carried out in association with the SEREN project (as described in
last year’s report) and will run until 2015. The thrust of the project is to further develop the
above mentioned research themes to promote and support commercial ventures. This will be
achieved through a range of collaborations with industry.
International collaboration and partnerships will also be used to further achievements and have
a global impact on a more sustainable way to exploit the potential of geo-energy. In particular,
the Chair will collaborate with partners based in North America and China.
Considering the importance of geo-energy and its potential impact on society and the
environment, it is one of the Chair’s priorities to apply the approaches and methods developed
as well as sustainability principles to this thematic area. Therefore social, health, environmental
as well as technical aspects of geo-energy will be integrated into all relevant activities
performed in this field.
