The blue numbers show the volume of CO2 at each depth compared to a volume of 100 at the surface.Ĭarbon dioxide (CO 2) can be stored underground as a supercritical fluid. HOW CAN CO 2 BE STORED UNDERGROUND? Illustration of Pressure Effects on CO2 (based upon image from CO2CRC). Reality: Developing the technologies and know-how to successfully capture and store CO 2 emissions will allow for a viable industry that will reduce the human contribution to atmospheric CO 2 levels. Myth: Carbon capture and storage is not a feasible way to reduce human CO 2 emissions.
#CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE TECHNOLOGY MANUALS#
Department of Energy (DOE) is investigating five types of underground formations for geologic carbon storage:ĭOE’s Carbon Storage Program is conducting research and development (R&D) on CCS, developing Best Practice Manuals (BPMs) on topics. Geologic storage is defined as the placement of CO 2 into a subsurface formation so that it will remain safely and permanently stored. Suitable storage formations can occur in both onshore and offshore settings, and each type of geologic formation presents different opportunities and challenges. However, storage must be safe, environmentally sustainable, and cost-effective. WHAT IS CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE? Carbon storage diagram showing CO2 injection into a saline formation while producing brine for beneficial useĬarbon capture and storage (CCS) is the separation and capture of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the emissions of industrial processes prior to release into the atmosphere and storage of the CO 2 in deep underground geologic formations.ĬCS enables industry to continue to operate while emitting fewer greenhouse gases (CHGs), making it a powerful tool for addressing mitigation of anthropogenic CO 2 in the atmosphere.
