Future plans and prospectsInstitute of Chemical
Engineering Polish Academy of Sciences

• Evaluation of adsorptive and membrane methods
  for the separation of carbon dioxide from
  flue gas streams
• Highly efficient methods for hydrogen separation
  from H2/CO2 mixtures
• Chemical looping combustion

12
New Project
MOVECBM site RECOPOL site

• Upper Silesian Basin, Poland (Kaniow)
• Available site, infrastructure, contacts
• Initial sub-optimal conditions for injection and
• production, therefore optimal for
  technology
• and methodology development and testing
• Extension to other areas (Europe, Asia)

13
Project MOVECBM Monitoring verification of CO2
storage and ECBM in Poland

• Experimental test sites for Monitoring and
  Verification of CO2 Storage with Enhanced Coal
  Bed Methane
• Development of tools to study the long term
  behaviour of CO2 in CBM reservoirs as well as
  to prove storage integrity

The main objective of the work is to prove
reliability and safety, in the long term, of the
CO2 stored in ECBM and to provide the RD
necessary to have a basis for monitoring,
measurement and verification leading to
guidelines for site certification and broadly
accepted standards.
