How Does Geological Carbon Storage Work?

Carbon dioxide is injected into these sandstone layers about one to two kilometres below the seabed. IPCC have projected that we'll need to store between about 300 and 1,000 gigatons of carbon by the end of the century. The purpose of this report was really to highlight to policymakers the great potential of this carbon storage as a very important part of the energy transition. For the UK this could be a major source of growth and a major new industry with huge potential to export the technology and the technical solutions.
