Safeguarding drinking water in north-western europe by modelling the fate of amines from CO 2 capture

Key Points

• This research aims to model the impact of nitramine and nitrosamine from CO2 capture on water safety.
• Developed models to track the fate of amines in water systems
• Analyzed risks to surface and groundwater sources
• Assessed implications during CO2 capture and storage deployment
• Identified significant risks of amines to water quality
• Highlighted urgent need for coordinated regional management
• Demonstrated potential dangers to drinking water supplies
