Our Vision
! By being the European Centre of
Excellence on CO2 storage, the

CO2GeoNet Association aims at
being the natural advisor of
governments and industry on
scientific knowledge on Geological
storage of CO2, and at contributing
significantly both to the required
capacity building on CO2 storage
and to the dissemination of new
knowledge.
Who are we?

! CO2GeoNet is the European Network of
Excellence on geological storage of CO2
! a non profit European Research Association
! which collaborates with, works for, and receives
support from a diverse set of entities, partners or

clients.
! a large and growing Independent group of

leading research institutions unmatched
anywhere else in Europe or internationally.
! the only scientific community with
comprehensive multidisciplinary expertise,
focused on CO2 storage and independent of
political, industrial or societal pressures
Our Values
! Our mission is driven by non-partisan scientific objectives.
! Scientific honesty and quality, collegiality, openness and respect of
the diversity of stakeholders opinions.
! independency, integrity, objectivity and impartiality

! We collaborates with, and welcomes funding from public or
private organizations that respect these values
! Each relationship is carefully reviewed by our General Meeting.
! All fundraising is coordinated by the Executive Committee of

the Association, acting under the authority of the General
Meeting
Our Ambitions
! Provide and disseminate integrated scientific
research results and synthesized knowledge to
contribute to the improvement of technical, economic,
regulatory aspects and public awareness of CO2
storage
! Be the preferred source of impartial scientific
and technical information and advice for the
European Union, industry, regulators, the general
public and other CCS stakeholders
! Contribute to the identification of knowledge
gaps and the formulation of new research targets
! Foster interaction and exchange of information
and views between CO2 storage researchers and CCS
stakeholders
!
Our Ambitions
! Foster the training of upcoming generations of
scientists that will be needed for a widespread
deployment of the technology
! being a source of unbiased information, excellent tutors
and training programmes in the science of CO2 storage
! Expand our membership in order to provide an

excellent, robust, multidisciplinary and pan-European
knowledge/skills base for the implementation of the
geological storage of CO2
