Abstract:
Geological storage and sequestration represents one of the most important routes for carbon dioxide storage, be it in saline aquifers, oil and gas reservoirs or coal beds. Understanding the mechanisms of capture, the potential and actual storage capacity of particular sites, and ways to manage, monitor and mitigate the threat from any potential leakage or seepage is critical to the future of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) and the power industry. The first part of this book provides an overview of geological storage and sequestration techniques. Environmental impacts, risk assessment and regulatory frameworks are also addressed. Part 2 contains case studies of CCS in various countries.
