CO2

The CO2 capture - transport - storage approach involves capturing CO2, transporting it to a storage facility, then injecting it into the subsoil to store it. The injection phase is followed by a surveillance phase.

 

In this field, IFP, in addition to its policy of taking out patents, has with Geostock and the BRGM founded the Geogreen company, an industrial player in the storage of CO2.

Geogreen is an international engineering services company specializing in the transport and geological storage of CO2.

It was created by the union of three major French players in the field: IFP, the Geostock company (underground storage of oil & gas), and the BRGM. They are pooling their skills in order to position themselves in the world market for the geological storage of CO2.

The perfect technical complementarity of Geogreen's experts enables it to offer the industrialists concerned a very broad range of services covering the whole chain from the transport of CO2, to its geological storage, from upstream expertise to engineering and project development.

Aware of the environmental stakes for future generations, and of the importance of taking steps towards sustainable development, Geogreen is firmly committed to a public interest approach. Its leaders are determined to apply a stringent health, safety and environmental protection policy and to work in complete transparency with all players concerned by its business.
