- Quality of geological CO storage to avoid jeopardizing climate targets. Torvanger, Asbj�rn; Grimstad, Alv-Arne; Lindeberg, Erik; Rive, Nathan; Rypdal, Kristin; Skeie, Ragnhild; Fuglestvedt, Jan; Tollefsen, Petter // Climatic Change;Sep2012, Vol. 114 Issue 2, p245
We explore allowable leakage for carbon capture and geological storage to be consistent with maximum global warming targets of 2.5 and 3 �C by 2100. Given plausible fossil fuel use and carbon capture and storage scenarios, and based on modeling of time-dependent leakage of CO, we employ a...
