Geophysical Monitoring as a Means to Carbon Capture and Storage and the Energy Transition

Geophysical Monitoring as A Means to Carbon Capture and Storage and the Energy Transition involves four sections: What is the Energy Transition and why storage so important; selecting sites for storage; advanced monitoring technology; and moving forward to integrating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) within the Energy Transition. To provide the public and others with the confidence to move forward with a structured and cost-effective energy transition, this book provides the necessary evidence that we can store CO2 safely and effectively and use this as a significant component of the energy transition. Geophysical Monitoring as A Means to Carbon Capture and Storage and the Energy Transition is written by experts in the field who have practiced the science and engineering associated with subsurface CCS for years. CCS is an integral component of the new energy transition. Science, engineering, and technology applications are important for site selection, characterization and monitoring to assure safe storage in the subsurface and energy sustainability in the future. Presents an overview of the available technology, along with specific applications and scenarios in which to use the technology Features case studies to provide practical applications for those geoscientists and engineers in the energy industry Includes an overview of the history of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to provide context for energy transition
