Definitive report published to address safe subsurface storage of CO_2

摘要

Oil exploration and production technology holds the key to secure CO_2 storage as part of large scale deployment of CO_2 Capture & Storage (CCS), according to a report published by the CO_2 Capture Project (CCP). The report provides a definitive treatment of the CO_2 storage subsurface technical issues and how oil and gas experience technology and protocols are available now to address them. The report draws on the shared expertise of the CCP participants, research of more than 50 academic institutions, and feedback from leading environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
