ENCASE - A European Network of Research Infrastructures for CO2 Transport and Injection

欧盟承诺到2030年将温室气体排放量减少55%，并在2050年实现碳中性。部署来自欧洲不同工业部门的二氧化碳捕获和储存(CCS)是减少二氧化碳排放的一种强有力的快速通道方法。二氧化碳的运输和注入是捕获点和储藏库之间必不可少的纽带。Encase的目标是促进更安全、更具成本效益和环境友好的二氧化碳运输和油井注入。Enase的目标是不断完善联合体中7个世界领先的CCS相关研究基础设施(RIS)，利用最先进的科学仪器、工具和方法成为CCS技术研发的中坚力量。技术的共同开发将增强RIS的能力，提高RIS人员的能力，并使这些RIS能够更好地解决和弥合关键的知识差距。Enase将通过与CCS基础设施运营商、服务公司、学术界和中小企业的密切合作，维护和提高这些欧洲RIS的竞争力。RIS将可供行业/中小企业用于制作其新设备/技术的原型，例如，泵概念、计量技术和用于监测、控制和预测含有杂质的二氧化碳气流的模拟器工具。Encase产生的高质量数据将提升工业界和学术界的知识水平，这将有助于创新型公司的发展和CCS行业未来劳动力的培养。将通过让不同的利益攸关方参与来开发社会创新实验室和共同创造倡议，以满足特定的社会需求，并更好地将RIS整合到当地社区。我们的成功将改善CCS基础设施的设计和运营，并满足欧盟的气候目标。因此，ENCES增强的研究能力建设将造福于科学界、行业、政策制定者、环境和社会。

The EU has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Deployment of CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) from different industrial sectors across Europe is a powerful fast track approach to abate CO2 emissions. CO2 transport and injection are the essential links between capture sites and storage reservoirs. The goal of ENCASE is to contribute to a safer, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly CO2 transport and well injection. ENCASE aims to continuously improve 7 world-leading CCS-related research infrastructures (RIs) in the consortium with state-of-the-art scientific instruments, tools and methods to be the backbone for research and development of CCS technologies. Co-development of technologies will enhance the capability of RIs, increase RI personnel’s competence and enable these RIs to better address and close key knowledge gaps. ENCASE will safeguard and increase the competitiveness of these European RIs through strong collaboration with the CCS infrastructure operators, service companies, academia, and SMEs. The RIs will be available for the industry/SMEs for prototyping their new equipment/technology, e.g., pumping concepts, metering technologies, and simulator tools for monitoring, controlling and predicting the CO2 streams with impurities. The high-quality data produced in ENCASE will lift the knowledge level of industry and academia, which will contribute to the development of innovative companies and the education of future workforce for the CCS industry. Social innovation labs and cocreation initiatives will be developed by involving different stakeholders to address specific societal needs and better integrate the RIs in the local communities. Our success will improve the design and operation of CCS infrastructures and meet the EU climate goals. Thus, the enhanced research capacity build by ENCASE will benefit scientific community, industry, policy-makers, environment and society.
