COORAL CO₂ Purity for Capture and Storage

Begin of project: April 1, 2009

End of project: September 30, 2013

Status of project: August 31, 2014

COORAL is the acronym - derived from the German project name “CO₂-Reinheit für die Abscheidung und Lagerung” - of a collaborative research project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.

The aim of the project COORAL was to investigate

- which substances are potentially generated and cocaptured in the Oxyfuel, the Pre-combustion and the Post-combustion Process and

- what are their impacts during transport, injection and geological storage,

targeting an optimisation of the entire process chain "power generation – transport – injection – geological storage" with respect to ecologic, technical and economic issues.
