Carbon Capture and Storage: How Green Can Black Be?
TLDR
Urgent action is required if carbon capture and storage is to play a large role in limiting climate change, and many technological, commercial, and political hurdles remain to be overcome.Abstract:
The capture of carbon dioxide at the point of emission from coal- or gas-burning power plants is an attractive route to reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. To commercialize carbon capture, as well as transport of liquified carbon dioxide and its storage in exploited oil fields or saline formations, many technological, commercial, and political hurdles remain to be overcome. Urgent action is required if carbon capture and storage is to play a large role in limiting climate change.read more

TL;DR: It is suggested that long-term anthropogenic CO2 storage models in similar geological systems should focus on the potential mobility of CO2 dissolved in water, following the findings that geological mineral fixation is a minor CO2 trapping mechanism in natural gas fields.
