gud question went above my head...all i want to kno weather carbon reduction or carbon sequestration is a better method to fite carbon dioxide in the air...n on wat wil i get more carbon credit if i wish to
It's great that this is being researched. My main concern with this would be to make sure that there won't be problems with the differences in densities over the long term. ie. will the CO2 want to escape as it's less dense than the oil that had been there. Could it destablise the ground above it etc.
I have these same questions- I have heard that the rock which has held the oil for millions of years is able to also hold onto the CO2 gas equally as long- but how does this change the composition and usefulness of the land after the CO2 is in the rock? Did you ever find answers to your questions?
Sorry only getting back to you now. I've asked a few geologists about it but i've found nothing concrete out about it. I've been thinking a little more about it though. CO2 is a small molecule compared to any longchain hydrocarbon (oil,) so to my mind I reckon CO2 as a liquid would not be as sticky as oil and because it's smaller could escape through smaller fractures possibly to the surface.But I could be wrong.
