Geological Storage

Geological storage, often associated with carbon capture and storage (CCS), is a process where carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from sources like power plants are captured and then stored underground in rock formations. This is done to prevent CO2 from entering the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. The captured CO2 is injected deep into stable geological formations, such as depleted oil and gas fields or saline aquifers, where it can be safely contained for long periods. This method helps mitigate the effects of global warming while allowing the continued use of fossil fuels during the transition to cleaner energy sources.
