This exclusive compilation written by eminent experts from more than ten countries outlines
the processes and methods for geologic sequestration in different sinks. It discusses and
highlights the details of individual storage types including recent advances in the science
and technology of carbon storage. The topic is of immense interest to geoscientists reservoir
engineers environmentalists and researchers from the scientific and industrial communities
working on the methodologies for carbon dioxide storage.Increasing concentrations of
anthropogenic carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are often held responsible for the rising
temperature of the globe. Geologic sequestration prevents atmospheric release of the waste
greenhouse gases by storing them underground for geologically significant periods of time. The
book addresses the need for an understanding of carbon reservoir characteristics and behavior.
Other book volumes on carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS)attempt to cover the entire
process of CCUS but the topic of geologic sequestration is not discussed in detail. This book
focuses on the recent trends and up-to-date information on different storage rock types
ranging from deep saline aquifers to coal to basaltic formations.
