- 2. Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre 2 Projected sea-level rise GDP per capita $109,900 ~£72,000 (World Bank) CO2 emissions per captia 35 tonnes (http://edgar.jrc.ec.europe.eu) 77 MTPA LNG exported 2 largest GtL plants ~1,200 BOPD (UK 600-900) Largest aluminium smelter Large petrochemical plants (QAFCO, QChem, QVC, QAFAC, etc.) 1st in the world for per capita emissions Nat Geo Oct 2013 Qatar
- 3. Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre 3 The project at Imperial 10 years (2008-2018), $70 million funding Understanding the underlying science in CCS applied in a Qatari context: carbonate geology, fluid characterization, multiphase flow in porous media and reservoir simulation. Knowledge transfer to Qatar – establishment of laboratories in Qatar founded on best practice developed at Imperial College. 55 researchers 4 dedicated QCCSRC lecturers; 15 other academic faculty 7 post-docs and 35 PhD students (5 Qataris) 5 major laboratories established in London 100 papers published/in review, See www.imperial.ac.uk/qccsrc
- 4. Qatar Carbonates and Carbon Storage Research Centre Multi-scale imaging lab Start with the fundamentals – understand processes experimentally at the pore scale. Micron-to-metre imaging with in situ displacement at reservoir conditions. Just some of the work – fluids, simulation etc.
