Abstract: FEASIBILITY STUDY OF CO 2 STORAGE IN SALINE FORMATIONS AND STRUCTURES OF THE UPPER SILESIAN COAL BASIN Abstract. This article presents a study of possible locations for CO 2 storage reservoirs in the brine aquifers in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin. Based on the analysis of the geological structure and hydrogeoiogicai characteristics three brine aquifers have been designated for possible CO 2 storage: two in the Carboniferous deposits - in the Upper Silesian Sandstone Series and Cracow Sandstone Series - arid one in the Miocene deposits of the Debowiec Beds. Among these three series the most adequate conditions for potential CO 2 storage are present in the Debowiec Beds. The most promising area is located to the west of Bielsko-Biala between Cieszyn and Czechowice-Dziedzice. Capacity for CO 2 storage in this region is estimated at 40-60 Mt. Because a considerable part of the area is covered by the Nature 2000 protection and landscape parks, some problems may arise for the CO 2 storage plans.
