The role of CO2 capture and utilization in mitigating climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential contribution of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) to the mitigation of CO2 emissions has been investigated and the authors find that CCU will only account for a small amount of the required total mitigation effort.

An improved model for the calculation of CO2 solubility in aqueous solutions containing Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl−, and SO42−
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved model was presented for the calculation of the solubility of carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions containing Na +, K +,C a 2+,M g 2+ ),C l �, and SO4 2� with experimental accuracy.

Large-scale impact of CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers: A sensitivity study on pressure response in stratified systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effects of interlayer communication through low-permeability seals. But they focused on the effects on shallow aquifers and evaluated the possible implications for shallow groundwater resources, rather than the CO2 plume itself, and concluded that large-scale pressure changes appear to be of more concern to groundwater resources than changes in water quality caused by the migration of displaced saline water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospects for carbon capture and storage technologies
TL;DR: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies remove carbon dioxide from flue gases for storage in geologic formations or the ocean as discussed by the authors, with current costs of about $200 to $250 per ton of carbon.

Morteza Akbarabadi,Mohammad Piri +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hysteresis on capillary trapping and relative permeability of CO2/brine systems at reservoir conditions were investigated in three sandstone rock samples, low and high permeability Berea and Nugget sandstones.

The Long-Term Fate of CO2 Injected into an Aquifer
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that CO2 is retained in large thin clouds under what is expected to be horizontal semi-permeable shales within the Utsira formation in the North Sea and eventually 25 million tones will be injected before gas production has ceased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of leakage potential from a carbon dioxide EOR/sequestration project
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a protocol for baseline surface geochemical measurements to evaluate the potential risk of carbon dioxide injection in shallow water wells and basements, where the objective is to detect a subtle signal from depth in the presence of a large amount of near surface noise.

Australia’s CO2 geological storage potential and matching of emission sources to potential sinks
TL;DR: In this article, the potential for the underground storage of CO 2 in Australia has been investigated using the GEODISC program of the Australian Petroleum Cooperative Research Centre (APCRC), Geoscience Australia (GA) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
Putting carbon back in the ground
J Davidson,P Freund,A Smith +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the main opportunities for capturing CO 2 and how this would be done in practice are identified and the factors which will influence application, including environmental impact, cost and efficiency, are presented and the future prospects for the technology are discussed.

TL;DR: The Sleipner West gas field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea has been used for underground storage of industrial quantities of carbon dioxide as mentioned in this paper, and the effects of CO 2 on groundwaters and ecosystems can be described.
