Onshore Geologic Storage of CO 2

Abstract

The possibility that substantial quantities of CO 2 can be injected into subsurface porous rock formations has been investigated sufficiently to show that pore space available to contain the CO 2 is abundant. Multiple rock types and physical mechanisms can be used to trap the CO 2 indefinitely. With careful site selection and operations, leakage to the near-surface region can be avoided. The next step is to test these injection processes at the scale of a large power plant.
