CO2 Summit II: Technologies and Opportunities

Two primary challenges for modern societies are to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is emitted to the atmosphere and to increase the penetration of renewable energy technologies into electricity systems. CO2-bulk energy storage (CO2-BES) is a CO2 capture and storage (CCS) approach that can address both of these challenges by using CO2 emitted from large point sources (e.g., fossil fuel power plants, cement manufacturers) that is sequestered in sedimentary basin geothermal resources to take power from, and deliver power to, electricity grids. Electricity can be generated by wind and …
