"This monograph covers the state-of-the-art geophysical techniques for monitoring CO2 storage within subsurface geologic formations, such as oil fields, gas fields, saline formations, unmineable coal seams, and saline-filled basalt formations. Geophysical monitoring techniques exploit geophysical signals from CO2 reservoirs or target monitoring regions such as potential leakage paths, to inform where the CO2 plume is and how the integrity of cap rock seals are. These signals can be from passive sources or active sources. Geophysical monitoring employs sensors in boreholes, or on the Earth's surface, or above the Earth's surface to acquire geophysical signals. Geophysical monitoring is to use these information to infer the movement and the fate of injected CO2 within three-dimensional subsurface. Most geophysical monitoring techniques are non-invasive, and are to detect subsurface changes caused by CO2 movement in kilometers away from the sensors. High-resolution and high-fidelity geophysical monitoring techniques are necessary to ensure safe and long-term geologic carbon storage. In addition, this monograph also provides some applications of geophysical monitoring techniques at a number of large-scale field demonstration projects. These applications demonstrate the practical capabilities of geophysical monitoring techniques."--

Oil, coal and natural gas will remain the world’s dominant sources of energy over the next decades, with resulting carbon dioxide emissions set to increase to unsustainable levels. However, technologies that help reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuels can reverse this trend. CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is particularly promising. CCS takes CO2 from large stationary sources and stores it in deep geological layers to prevent its release into the atmosphere. Responding to a G8 Gleneagles request, this study documents progress toward the development of CCS, covering capture, transportation and storage technologies and their costs; storage capacity estimates, regional assessment of CCS potential; legal and regulatory frameworks; public awareness and outreach strategies; and financial mechanisms and international mechanisms. It also discusses the role of CCS in ambitious new energy scenarios that aim for substantial emissions reduction. This publication elaborates the potential of CCS in coal-fuelled electricity generation and estimates for capture in the industry and fuel transformation sectors. Finally, it assesses the infrastructure needed to process and transport large volumes of CO2.

"[This book] identifies the main contemporary regulatory requirements, challenges and opportunities involving CCS from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. It draws on the scholarship of renowned researchers across the fields of international energy law and policy to address CCS regulation and its impact on climate change, sustainable development, and related consequences for energy transition. In this vein, the book aims to address issues related to energy, energy justice and climate changes (including CCS technology). Contributors discuss the main challenges and advantages concerning international energy and the forms CCS may contribute to energy security, climate change, adaptation and mitigation of GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions and sustainable development. In this light, the book discusses CCS as a bridge that integrates international energy, climate change and sustainable development"--Back cover.

Carbon Dioxide Utilisation: Closing the Carbon Cycle explores areas of application such as conversion to fuels, mineralization, conversion to polymers, and artificial photosynthesis as well as assesses the potential industrial suitability of the various processes. After an introduction to the thermodynamics, basic reactions, and physical chemistry of carbon dioxide, the book proceeds to examine current commercial and industrial processes, and the potential for carbon dioxide as a green and sustainable resource. While carbon dioxide is generally portrayed as a ""bad"" gas, a waste product, a
