GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The project aims to develop fundamental gas-geochemistry research and build a team of excellence and equipment facilities.

  • WP.1 Building The Research Team
    • A team of researchers is trained to become a new reference for studies and services on gas-geochemistry.
  • WP.2 Building The Research Facility
    • A laboratory is equipped with the latest generation of gas sensors and instruments for water analysis.
  • WP.3 Demonstrative Field Work
    • Surveys for natural methane and ethane emission (Topic 1)
    • Surveys for soil-water pollution and hazard assessment (Topics 2)
    • Surveys for detection of geological hydrogen in the ground (Topic 3)
  • WP.4 Project Impact, Dissemination And Communication
    • Analysis of project’ scientific, social and economic impact
      Dissemination and communication of results

 

OBJECTIVES

  • Developing fundamental gas-geochemistry research and building a team of excellence and equipment facilities
    • Expertise on gas origin and release to aquifers, soil and atmosphere from natural and anthropogenic sources, and their environmental and energy resource implications
  • Demonstrative gas-geochemical studies with holistic approach
    • environmental impact: soil-water pollution by hydrocarbons and hazard
    • scientific gaps: geo-methane emission to the atmosphere
    • opening new research prospectives: natural hydrogen in Romania
