Optimization of capillary trapping of CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers, Optimization of capillary trapping of CO₂ sequestration in saline aquifers

Creator:

Harper, Elizabeth J.

Abstract:

Geological carbon sequestration, as a method of atmospheric greenhouse gas reduction, is at the technological forefront of the climate change movement. During sequestration, carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas effluent is captured from coal fired power plants and is injected into a storage saline aquifer or depleted oil reservoir. In an effort...
