“Exploring the Viability of Carbon Storage in Deep Saline Aquifers for Climate Change Solutions”

The article discusses Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) as a key technology for reducing carbon emissions while using fossil fuels. It focuses on the storage aspect, where captured CO2 is injected into deep saline aquifers, offering substantial storage capacity for emissions from stationary sources. The process involves complex interactions of geomechanics, geochemistry, and thermodynamics. However, simplifying assumptions in modeling have yielded practical insights into storage capacity, CO2 migration, pressure response, and leakage risk. Coupled with field-scale observations, these models significantly enhance understanding of CCS in deep saline aquifers, affirming its viability and contribution to addressing climate change, despite economic and policy challenges. more information can be found “
