This call aims to enhance the understanding of how impurities in CO2 streams affect the transport and storage of CO2, which is crucial for the development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) value chains in the European Union. Projects should deliver recommendations for the design and safe operation of CO2 transport and storage systems, addressing challenges posed by different flow rates, pressures, states, and compositions of CO2 streams. The objective is to inform guidelines and contribute to standardization efforts by improving knowledge of the physical and chemical behavior of impure CO2.

Projects are expected to generate experimental data on thermophysical and corrosive properties of CO2-rich mixtures, model the transient flow along pipeline networks, and assess the impact of impurities on storage reservoirs in the near-well zone. The initiatives should address issues such as corrosion rates under different conditions, reactive transport and geochemical modeling, and the development of systematic methods to understand limits for impurities. Collaboration with national and regional actors managing the subsurface is encouraged, as is international cooperation, particularly with projects or partners from the United States.
