Abstract

In the face of increasing energy demands, geologic CO2 sequestration (GCS) is a promising option to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. To ensure the environmental sustainability of this option, we must understand the rates and mechanisms of key geochemical reactions and their impacts on GCS performance, the multiphase reactive transport of CO2, and the management of environmental risks. Strong interdisciplinary collaborations are required to minimize environmental impacts and optimize the performance of GCS operations.
