IEA GHG Networks |
 |
 |
International
Network on Biofixation of CO2
and Greenhouse Gas Abatement with Microalgae |
The
purpose of the Microalgae Biofixation Network is to
provide a forum for organisations already engaged or
interested in research and development (R&D) of
greenhouse gas abatement technologies using microalgae. |
 |
International
Network for CO2 Capture |
IEA GHG has developed
the CO2 Capture Network to
act as a forum for, and promote the work of, those involved
in CO2 capture test facilities. |
 |
Monitoring
Network |
Established on
8th November 2004, the first meeting of the Monitoring
Network demonstrated that there was a large tool box
of monitoring techniques that could be applied for both
surface and sub surface monitoring of CO2.
It was clear that no single technique would be sufficient
to meet all the different monitoring needs. Therefore,
the aim of the network has been, to focus more on monitoring
programmes rather than individual techniques. |
 |
Oxy-Fuel
Combustion Network |
The aim of the
International Network for Oxy-Fuel Combustion is to
provide an international forum for organisations with
interest in the development of Oxy-Fuel Combustion Technology. |
 |
Risk
Assessment Network |
The International
Risk Assessment Network was established in August 2005.
It was agreed that the research network should aim to
address what the regulators are expecting and whether
risk assessment can provide the answers they require.
The scope of the Risk Assessment Network can be divided
into a number of smaller and more specific subject areas
which can run alongside the operation of the network.
|
 |
Well
Bore Integrity Network |
During the development
of the Risk Assessment Network, discussions highlighted
that the integrity of well bores and their long-term
ability to retain CO2 could be a significant potential
risk for the long-term security of geological storage
facilities. To address this component of risk assessment
a workshop was held in April 2005 to bring together
over 50 experts from both industrial operators and from
research organisations to determine the current state
of knowledge of well bore integrity.
One of the main outcomes from the workshop was that
the scope of work on well bore integrity was enough
to establish its own network but there would be a report
on progress at the annual Risk Assessment Network Meetings. |
 |
Joint
Network Meeting |
Following three
sucessfull meetings of each of the Monitoring, Risk
Assessment and Well Bore integrity Networks, it has
been decided to bring these three networks together
in one meeting to help shape the future direction for
each Network |

Related Networks
|
 |
CO2GeoNet |
The
Network focus is on the geological storage of CO2
as a greenhouse gas mitigation option. It has several
objectives over the 5 year period of EC funding for
integration. |
 |
CO2NET |
CO2NET is the European
Network of researchers, developers and users of CO2
technology, facilitating co-operation between these
organisations and the European projects on CO2
geological storage, CO2 capture
and zero emissions technologies. |
 |
EuroGeoSurveys
|
To assist the European
Union to obtain joint technical advice from the Geological
Surveys of the Member States and Accession Countries |
 |
eurogif |
EUROGIF represents
the European oil and gas service and supply industry.
EUROGIF brings an industry perspective to the EU in
terms of their formulation of both energy policy and
Framework Programmes for sponsored research. |
 |
EnergyINet |
EnergyINet is an
organization that brings industry, researchers and government
together to unlock the next generation of ideas and
technology to provide Canadians with an abundant supply
of affordable and environmentally responsible energy. |
 |
The
Zero Emission Coal Alliance (ZECA) |
A U.S.-Canadian
consortium, comprised of 18 members representing governments,
research organizations and the coal, utility, mining,
and equipment manufacturing industries, proposes the
development of a novel, highly efficient technology
to generate electricity and/or hydrogen from coal with
zero atmospheric emissions. |
