Summary:

Researchers from the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center and Geogreen look at issues related to a suite of technologies used to capture large amounts of industrial carbon dioxide and store it underground. They explain how the technology is supposed to work; where, why, and how it should be deployed; and gaps yet to be filled in research and development, technology, regulations, economics, and public acceptance. They consider the global context, deployment status, regional applicability, stakeholders, capture and separation, transport systems, geological storage, regulatory frameworks, economics, quality standards, and a pragmatic way forward.
