What is CCS?
CCS is a technology to prevent carbon
dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere
emitted by facilities such as power plants andfactories. The technology involves capturing
the CO2, injecting it into undergroundgeological formations and storing it
permanently. Along with energy efficiency andrenewable energy, CCS helps to tackle global
warming.

tonnesHow to store CO2
In order to store CO2 in the subsurface under
the seabed, a geological structure where areservoir is overlain by a cap rock is required.
The cap rock blocks the leakage of injected
CO2 from the reservoir.

Layout of Monitoring Network◼ A monitoring network was constructed near andaround the CO2 injection point, and continuous
monitoring over six years comprising before CO2
injection (1 year), during CO2 injection (3 years)
and after termination of injection is being carriedout.
➢ The formation pressures and temperatures of thewells - observation wells (3 wells) drilled around theCO2 injection point and CO2 injection wells (2 wells)
are being monitored.
➢ Seismometers were installed in the observation welland on the seabed to monitor earthquakes(including micro-seismicity - minute tremors thatcannot be felt by humans).
➢ Observed data is controlled centrally at theTomakomai Demonstration Center and constantmonitoring for the presence of abnormal conditions
is carried out.
Note) OBS and onshore seismometer were shut down in July 2021.

End of Injection (22 Nov. 2019)➢ There are perceptible earthquakes that can be felt, and imperceptible earthquakes that cannot be felt even though there are actual vibrations.
➢ In this project, particularly small (less than magnitude 1) imperceptible earthquakes are defined as micro-seismicity.
➢ In this project, micro-seismicity with a magnitude of -0.5 or more with a depth of less than 50 km in the vicinity of the injection point are monitored,
due to restrictions on the placement of observation points, and constraints on seismograph detection capability, etc.
