Filling in the evidence gaps for the safe deployment of offshore Geological Carbon Storage

Report

The Agile Initiative at the Oxford Martin School (funded by the Natural Environment Research Council) aims to transform how research responds to the needs of policymakers through timely, policy-oriented research Sprints that focus on critical environmental issues. This report is the final output of an Agile Initiative Sprint, addressing the question, “What do we need to know to safely store CO2 beneath our shelf seas?” The writers aim to improve understanding of the environmental risks and opportunities associated with CO2 storage in offshore reservoirs, to deliver new research, and to integrate existing knowledge from across research and policy areas, identifying gaps and areas requiring further research. This Sprint concluded in June 2024.
