Open access to harmonised digital data describing Earth's surface and subsurface holds immense value for society. This paper highlights the significance of open geoscience ranging from shallow topsoil or seabed depths 5 km. Such play a pivotal role in facilitating endeavours such as renewable geoenergy solutions, resilient urban planning, supply critical raw materials, assessment protection water resources, mitigation floods droughts, identification suitable locations carbon capture storage,...
Harmonisation of geological data, both semantically and geometrically, is key to foster the understanding information across national borders. Hereby, multitude borders in Europe, coupled with intensity mapping efforts, present a considerable challenge.The building databases for Europe started 1995 project International Geological Map Adjacent Areas (IGME 5000). For first time spatial database entire was built which covered Europe’s on-shore off-shore regions. The finished 2005,...
Transboundary geological baseline information, such as maps, datasets and 3D models following the FAIR data principles, is still scarce at European level. This due to (1) lack of transboundary harmonisation, (2) lack FAIRness existing harmonised data, (3) non-existence (4) lack a suitable framework provide data.The Geological Mapping & Modelling Expert Group EuroGeoSurveys gathers Surveys Organisations (GSO) establishes collection model production...
Since the defining of plate tectonics in 1960s knowledge on geodynamics European territory registered a remarkable progress understanding multiple – polyorogenic overprints within individual lithotectonic zones and units Europe, becoming by this way an etalon for orogenic interpretations to rest world.According classification Neuendorf et al. (2011) slightly modified form INSPIRE Geology data specifications...
The subsurface is often overlooked in the field sustainable natural resources management, even though it provides us with supporting, provisioning, regulating and cultural geosystem services. Additionally, can contribute to transition towards a more society by, for examples, storing energy extracting geothermal energy. Currently exploitation of occurs on first-come-first-served basis, which might lead inefficiencies inequities.The need development policies becomes progressively essential, as...
Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament on geological storage carbon dioxide, entered into force June 25th 2009. By end 2013 CCS has been fully transposed national law to satisfaction EC in 20 out 28 EU Member States, while six countries (Austria, Cyprus, Hungary, Ireland, Sweden and Slovenia) had complete transposing measures. In July 2014 Commission closed infringement procedures against Hungary which have notified that they taken measures incorporate law. Among other three updated...
A wide-scale application of CO2-enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) in North Sea fields can have many advantages, especially when followed by CO2 geological storage. Under the current low prices though, even maintaining basic production is challenging. techno-economic assessment made Claymore field with PSS IV simulator, focusing on uncertainty and investment risk. For a stochastic price ranging between 10 70 €/bbl, revenue -10 to €/t reservoir parameters, an average NPV almost 500 M€ obtained...
The EU CCS Directive transposition process and related issues in 26 European countries, comprising 24 member states, Norway Croatia were studied the FP7 project: "CGS Europe" 2011–2012. By end of 2011 into national law had been approved by Commission (EC) Spain only, but at national/jurisdictional level 12 other countries (Austria, Denmark, Estonia, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovakia Sweden) two regions Belgium. January 2012, assessed submissions legal...
