Storing CO_2 in Partially Depleted Oil Wells

摘要

A new approach that is one of the first to successfully store carbon dioxide underground may have huge implications for global warming and the oil industry, says a University of Alberta researcher. Ben Rostron is part of an extensive team working on the $28 million International Energy Agency Weyburn CO_2 Monitoring and Storage Project-the largest of its kind-that has safely buried the greenhouse gas and reduced emissions from entering the atmosphere.
