Geological storage and sequestration of carbon dioxide represents one of the most important processes for reducing humankind's emissions of greenhouse gases. Geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) reviews the techniques and wider implications of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). Part one provides an overview of the geological storage of CO2. Chapters discuss anthropogenic climate change and the role of CCS and the modelling of storage capacity, injectivity, migration and trapping of CO2. Chapters in part two move on to explore the environmental, social and regulatory aspects of CCS including CO2 leakage from geological storage facilities and the legal framework for CCS. Finally, part three focuses on a variety of different projects and includes case studies of offshore CO2 storage at Sleipner natural gas field beneath the North Sea and the K12-B CO2 injection project in the Netherlands.
