Below and on the following pages contains content of Brochure, which can be download HERE or read as e-book HERE.

Brochure prepared the CO2GeoNet - European Network of Excellence

A responsible use of fossil fuels

Removing the main source of greenhouse gases

Returning the carbon back into the ground

Giving us the time needed to develop climate-friendly energy sources



Contents


Climate change and the need for CO2 geological storage

1. Where and how much CO2 can we store underground?

2. How can we transport and inject large quantities of CO2?

3. What happens to the CO2 once in the storage reservoir?

4. Could CO2 leak from the reservoir and, if so, what might be the consequences?

5. How can we monitor the storage site at depth and at the surface?

6. What safety criteria need to be imposed and respected?

A vision of the future



No more smoking chimneys

A pipeline brings CO2 and puts it in the ground

This is good for the Earth

For our children CO2 geological storage makes sense
