TL;DR: In this paper, a set of definitions and methodologies for the assessment of CO2 storage capacity in geological media is presented, including coal beds and deep saline aquifers, and the level of detail and resolution required in the data make reliable and accurate estimation of the storage capacity of these media practical only at the local and site-specific scales.

TL;DR: The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (www.cslforum.org) as mentioned in this paper has proposed a set of guidelines for estimation of CO2 storage capacity, which will greatly assist future deliberations by government and industry on the appropriateness of geological storage in different geological settings.

TL;DR: Two projects are now under way in the European Union to assess the potential CO2 storage capacity of the main sedimentary basins within Europe, known as GESTCO, which will examine in detail the geological storage potential and coincidence of CO2 emission sources to storage sites.

TL;DR: The European potential for the Geological Storage of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion (GESTCO) project as discussed by the authors was the first effort to evaluate the potential of underground CO2 storage in Europe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data for a possible future aquifer storage site in Denmark and evaluate the entire CO2 sequestration system including nature and characteristics of the geological structure, CO2 point sources, transport, and injection system.
