Geological storage and sequestration represents one of the most important routes for carbon dioxide storage, be it in saline aquifers, oil and gas reservoirs or coal beds. Understanding the mechanisms of capture, the potential and actual storage capacity of particular sites, and ways to manage, monitor and mitigate the threat from any potential leakage or seepage is critical to the future of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) and the power industry. The first part of this book provides an overview of geological storage and sequestration techniques, environmental impacts, risk assessment and regulatory frameworks, while subsequent parts contain case studies of CCS in various countries, such as Australia, Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands.
Chapters in part one discuss anthropogenic climate change and the role of CCS, the modeling of storage capacity, injectivity, migration and trapping of CO2, the monitoring of geological storage of CO2, and the role of pressure in CCS. Part two moves on to explore the environmental, social, and regulatory aspects of CCS including CO2 leakage from geological storage facilities, risk assessment of CO2 storage complexes and public engagement in projects, and the legal framework for CCS. Finally, the conclusion focuses on a variety of different projects and includes case studies of offshore CO2 storage at Sleipner natural gas field beneath the North Sea, the CO2CRC Otway Project in Australia, on-shore CO2 storage at the Ketzin pilot site in Germany, and the K12-B CO2 injection project in the Netherlands.
