As a partner of GSEU, the Ukrainian Association of Geologists within the framework of the tasks of Work Package 8 disseminates information regarding some published news and scientific articles in Ukraine on the main thematic areas of the project.

The following features are used to assess and classify projects: environmental, economic and social viability of the project; project maturity and level of geological study. The project as an assessment object includes not only the resources of the geological environment for the storage of CO2 and the capture and storage amount, but also all the equipment and systems necessary for these processes, including injection and monitoring wells, surface equipment, injection loops and an operations control center, pressure relief wells and equipment for processing the extracted fluid, the project may include an injection pipeline. It was noted the features and classes of the UNFC should be applied not only to resources of the geological environment for CO2 storage as the main one, but also as an additional type of economic activity.
