CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE IN AQUIFERS

Abstract

Nowadays one of the main environmental problems is air pollution and a large number of harmful emissions in the atmosphere. Since carbon capture and storage (CCS) installations have been proven to be an effective technology for reducing harmful emissions this paper aims to analyze this process, its benefits and disadvantages. This paper carried out a detailed analysis of the capture, transport, injection, and storage of carbon dioxide in aquifers and also examined various methods of this process. Besides economic and environmental impacts have also been considered. The ecological impact of CCS in aquifers is also discussed, emphasizing the importance of monitoring, and preventing potential risks of leakage. The paper evaluates the cost-effectiveness of CO2 storage in aquifers compared to other storage options. Such factors as a long-term monitoring of the storage facilities and liability have been taken into consideration to evaluate the total viability of CCS projects in aquifers
