Our Partners
INGV is the largest Italian research institution in Earth Sciences, which operates in the field of seismological, volcanological and environmental research with ten Institutional Sections distributed all over Italy.
INGV deals with several projects on geothermal energy and CCS since 2000. INGV involved in the worldwide research CO2 storage project in Weyburm (Canada) for geochemical modelling and geochemical monitoring. INGV also manages several pre-feasibility studies and was responsible for ‘Pre-Injection On-shore Geophysical and Geochemical Monitoring and Surveys’ in the Zero Emission Porto Tolle (EEPR-ZEPT) Project.
