UKCCSRC - Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Progress in understanding the potential role CO2 storage

Many ideas have been proposed for storage Of CO₂ from anthropogenic sources and the first examples are now in use. As part of its on-going work on CO₂ capture and storage technologies, the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme investigates such ideas, to understand their potential capacity and cost, as well as their likely environmental impact and practicality. This paper presents the results of work on a number Of CO₂ storage options including: depleted oil and gas fields, unminable coal measures, mineral carbonates, and hydrates. In addition, work is described on establishing collaborative monitoring of the storage of CO₂, and on investigating public concerns about injection Of CO₂ into the deep ocean.
