Practical guidance for geological CO₂ storage

Abstract

Carbon dioxide capture and storage（CCS）has steadily produced successful results in both onshore and offshore large-scale CO₂ underground storage projects. It is recognized as an effective technology to address global warming. In Japan, a large-scale pilot test totaling 300000 tonnes has just been completed offshore of Tomakomai, following the pilot test in Nagaoka of the geological sequestering of CO₂ totaling 10000 tonnes. Geological Carbon dioxide Storage Technology Research Association is publishing Practical Guidance for Geological CO₂ Storage based on collection of technical examples introduces domestic and overseas CO₂ storage cases. The guidance is a reference manual for future CCS project operators in Japan.
