The Production Of Water From Saline Aquifers Through Carbon Dioxide Capture And Storage Operations, Kelsey Hunter, Jeffrey Bielicki

CO2 Summit II: Technologies and Opportunities

The gap between an energy sector that relies on fossil fuels and one that relies on renewable resources may be bridged by systems that conserve resources, use closed-looped processes, and reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) technology may reduce CO₂ emissions by injecting CO₂ captured from power plants into deep saline aquifers for sequestration, but these systems have additional water and energy requirements that may impede deployment due to regional water stress and increased energy costs. CO₂ capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) operations that use Active CO₂ Reservoir Management …
