Description:

In the discussions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and climate change, the two basic approaches for controlling atmospheric CO2 are (1) avoiding generation of CO2 such as with electric cars (presumably replacing the coal-fired power plants needed to charge the car batteries with nuclear plants) and (2) capturing the generated CO2 and storing or sequestering it, thus keeping it out of the atmosphere. Among the approaches being looked at to sequester CO2 is underground injection. This is variously described as carbon capture and sequestration or storage (CCS), carbon capture and geologic storage (CCGS), onshore geologic sequestration (OSGS), or simply geologic sequestration (GS). The theoretical potential for geologic sequestration is huge and the hopes are significant for use of this technology.
