Saline water is arbitrarily defined as water containing more than 1000 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids. Saline ground water is known to underlie about two‐thirds of the 48 states. Locally, aquifers yield saline ground water in profuse quantities, some of which is used by industry, particularly for cooling. Generally, however, saline water has been considered a …

Club CO2

Caption: First world CO2 storage site in deep saline aquifer in Sleipner, North Sea (Norway). Natural gas is extracted 2 500m deep from the drilling platform and separated from the CO2 it contains on the gas processing platform. The CO2 is then injected into the sand aquifer of …

Hydrogen storage in saline aquifers: Opportunities and …

The potential aquifer must have impervious caprock, ensuring the confinement of the injected gas [33]. Fig. 2 shows the worldwide distribution of sedimentary basins [46]. Sedimentary basins are the main host for saline aquifers around the world and are likely the most suitable formations for hydrogen geological storage.

Mission 2013

Saline Aquifers. Saline aquifers are geological formations consisting of water permeable rocks that are saturated with salt water, called brine. Super-critical carbon dioxide (CO 2), CO 2 that has been pressurized to a phase between gas and liquid, may be injected into a saline aquifer where it may either dissolve in the brine, react with the dissolved minerals or the surrounding rock, or ...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in deep saline aquifers …

Broadly defined, deep saline aquifers are underground, water-filled strata. They are distributed widely across much of the world (Fig. 3.1 and 3.2) and are important potential CO 2 repositories because many are large, generally contiguous reservoirs that may be capable of storing large volumes of CO 2 (Hitchon et al., 1999).These aquifers, beneath both continents …

Mapping saline water intrusion into the coastal aquifer with

Saltwater intrusion into the coastal aquifer, a phenomenon brought by the flow of seawater into freshwater aquifers originally caused by groundwater extraction near the coast, has long been recognised as a major concern around the world. In this study, we employed geophysical and geochemical techniques to map and provide evidences that the coastal …

A review of carbon storage in saline aquifers: Mechanisms

The usage of renewable energies has been significantly increasing over time [1].However, it is predicted that the share of fossil-based fuel (coal, natural gas, and oil) in supplying energy demand will still be 78 % in 2040 [2].CO 2 is a major greenhouse gas (GHG) that contributes to the warming of the Earth's atmosphere.

Review of CO2 sequestration mechanism in saline aquifers

Table 2 presents the CO 2 sequestration capacity of different reservoirs in North America. It can be seen that saline aquifers in North America have the dominant role in large-scale CO 2 sequestration [3, 4].In China, the CO 2 sequestration potential of saline aquifers is also much higher than that of depleted oil and gas reservoirs and coal seams. Table 3 shows …
