Ensuring that the optimistic sequestration potential is equal or greater than the neutral estimation. In raw data e.g. data/CO2JRC_OpenFormats/CO2Stop_DataInterrogationSystem/Hydrocarbon_Traps.csv optimistic assumption is zero in some cases while neutral estimations are > 0.

Removing "conservative estimate Mt" from config since this leads to double counting of the sequestration potential in rule build_clustered_co2_sequestration_potentials.

  • before: total sequestration potential of 89,982 Mt
  • after: total sequestration potential of 16,227 Mt

@lisazeyen, if you have a moment, could you say whether that's correct? I think you once mentioned something specific about the accounting of the sequestration potentials.

I think we only considered high-density storage so far. But I am not sure if there is some double counting. I am currently on holidays until the 8/3 does this have some time? Then I could look at my notes at home. In my PhD thesis I wrote different numbers (total sequestration 18 Gt: 9 Gt gas, 5Gt oil, 4 Gt aquifer) and I am not sure where the mismatch is coming from, is it including onshore?
