Geological Storage Sites
Geological storage sites are underground locations where carbon dioxide (CO₂) or other gases are safely stored to reduce their impact on the atmosphere. These sites include deep rock formations like depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifers, which have the capacity to securely contain gases over long periods. The gases are injected deep underground, where natural rock layers act as barriers, preventing leaks. This method is an important tool in efforts to combat climate change by capturing emissions from industrial processes and power generation before they enter the atmosphere.
