CO2 Sequestration and Geologic Interactions
CO2 Sequestration and Geologic Interactions is a research topic within Environmental Engineering. Science Explorer counts 22k research works in it since 1950. 21.6% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a method for mitigating climate change. It covers topics such as CO2 sequestration, mineral carbonation, reactive transport modeling, caprock integrity, and the role of saline aquifers in storing CO2. The papers explore the potential of deep sedimentary formations for long-term storage and investigate the geochemical processes involved in CO2 capture and storage.
