geological carbon storage

Geological carbon storage involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from sources like power plants and injecting them deep underground into suitable rock formations. These formations, such as depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifers, have porous spaces where CO₂ can be stored securely for long periods. The goal is to prevent CO₂ from entering the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. Proper site selection and monitoring ensure the stored CO₂ remains trapped, making this a potentially effective method to reduce greenhouse gases and combat global warming.
