Natural and Industrial Analogues for Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide

This report addresses the following topics:

  •  Can CO2 be stored successfully deep underground?
  • Where can CO2 be stored deep underground?
  • Can the injected CO2 remain underground?
  • Can CO2 in underground storage sites leak to the surface?
  • Can CO2 affect the rocks/minerals it is in contact with?
  • Is geological CO2 storage safe?

Market Effects of CCS in the CDM (2008/13)

This technical report is freely available to assist the CDM Executive Board’s task set to it in Poznan, to assess the implications of the possible inclusion of CO2 capture and storage in geological formations as clean development mechanism project activities, taking into account technical, methodological and legal issues.

natural_resources

Natural Releases of CO2

IEA GHG commissioned eminent geologists from the British Geological Survey and CRIEPI in Japan to provide a factual and balanced overview of natural CO2 releases from underground sources and their relevance to geological CO2 storage. This report provides a summary of their findings.

voluntary

Voluntary Carbon Offsets

This report discusses the advantages and disadvantages of voluntary carbon offsets as a mechanism for reducing GHG emissions. It defines offsets and explains what makes a ‘quality offset’. It describes the various standards for offsets, explains how the market operates, and lists the main providers and purchasers.

geological_storage

Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide

This report looks at the factors governing the best assurance of safe and secure geologic storage. This includes a project that is well designed and conducted properly and carefully. More detailed explanations, including questions to ask about proposed projects to ensure that they are being conducted properly are available in this booklet.

capturing_co

CO2 Capture

This report provides a summary of CO2 capture processes. It also evaluates the effect of CO2 capture on different power plant technologies, examining plant performances, investment and production costs as well as environmental impacts. The report also discusses the facors than may influence the choice of power plant technology and CO2 capture method.

weyburn

IEA GHG Weyburn CO2 Monitoring & Storage Project

This report provides a summary of the achievements on the first phase of this major international action to monitor injected CO2 in a depleted oil field. The project has been managed by PTRC in coordination with ENCANA. IEA GHG supported the technical programme of the project.

oceanstorage

Ocean Storage of CO2

IEA GHG undertook a series of expert workshops that examined the state of knowledge about CO2 injection in the deep ocean. This report reviews the results of these workshops. It considers what research is needed to ensure that sufficient information becomes available to understand the potential benefits and consequences of ocean storage of CO2.
