A review of CO2 storage in geological formations emphasizing modeling, monitoring and capacity estimation approaches

Abstract The merits of CO2 capture and storage to the environmental stability of our world should not be underestimated as emissions of greenhouse gases cause serious problems. It represents the only technology that might rid our atmosphere of the main anthropogenic gas while allowing for the contin...
