Evaluation of Barriers to National CO2 Geological Storage Assessments
A study recently completed for the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) has just been published.  This review was undertaken by the CO2 Storage team of the British Geological Survey (BGS) on behalf of UK Department of Energy and Climate Change and the Korean Clean Energy Ministry who jointly funded the work.  The project was managed by the IEAGHG.  BGS conducted a survey of several countries to establish the level of national CO2 storage assessment that has been achieved.  All of the 15 countries who responded had completed national CSLF-methodology ‘theoretical’ storage capacity assessments.
