Geologic CO2 storage
proposednot assessed
Injection of CO2 into deep rock formations at gigatonne-per-year scale, with monitoring that shows it stays there.
Scope
In: saline aquifers and depleted fields, including injectivity, capacity, monitoring and leakage risk. Out: mineralization in basalt as a capture route, and capture itself (climate/direct-air-capture).
