Reduction of GHG emissions by geological storage of CO2: Anatomy of the Heartland Aquifer Redwater Carbon Capture and Geological Storage Project (HARP), Alberta, Canada

摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and characterize a geological storage site at more than 800 m depth that capable storing large quantities carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Alberta Basin close CO2 supply.Design/methodology/approach Five criteria are used select site: total volume pore space formation for (i.e. capacity); accessibility permeability or injectivity); ability retain once has been injected containment); protection other resources from contamination; cost whole process: capture CO2, transport economics).Findings Heartland Redwater Leduc Reef identified as capacity, good injectivity, an excellent trap. Contamination oil reservoir top reef (the third largest Canada) avoided by co‐optimizing ...
