Carbon Storage and Utilization as a Local Response to Use Fossil Fuels in a Sustainable Manner

Abstract

The reduction of CO2 emissions requires the combination of measures that prevent the emission of this compound in the electrical and industrial sector. Each region will have different characteristics that should be accentuated to apply the most viable technologies. In this case, a study is carried out in the North of Spain, where a potential CO2 store is located and, in this work, the development of a cluster CCS is studied, which is defined as the region with minimum CO2 emissions. In this case, the connection of different industrial nodes with the storage is studied, and a cluster CCS definition methodology is proposed. Those nodes that are economically and/or environmentally unviable in connection with the geological storage may apply other technologies for direct or indirect use of CO2.
