[font size=4]Natural underground reservoirs of carbon dioxide are giving scientists vital clues how best to store emissions of the gas.[/font]
[font size=3]…
In the most complete analysis of its kind, researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh and Strathclyde studied data on 76 natural CO2 reservoirs in America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
These gas pools – many more than a million years old – were formed as a result of geological changes, volcanic activity, or from decayed plants and animals.
…
Researchers have identified geological conditions best suited to long-term CO2 storage – such as optimum temperature, pressure, and type of rock.
They found that sites deeper than 1200 metres, high density of gas and multiple, thick rocks to cap reservoirs were all beneficial.
