certain that stored CO2 will not leak for at least 100,000 years. After all, the
aim is to solve – not merely delay – the CO2 problem.
8. But the industry seems confident about the leakage question. Oil
companies have long been pumping CO2 into depleted oil and gas fields to
maximize recovery, while Norwegian gas company StatoilHydro has been
stripping CO2 of natural gas and pumping it deep below the North Sea for
over a decade now.
9. "If natural gas stays down below the earth with high pressure for
several hundred million years, why shouldn't CO2 stay down there?," says
Daniel Kosel, an engineer who works at the Schwarze Pumpe facility.
10. The prospect of safe, cheap, and industrial-scale CCS offers an
interesting perspective, particularly for countries that are most reliant on coal.
Coal-rich countries like Canada, Australia, and the United States have
already planned or launched pilot CCS projects. The U.S. alone has between
250 and 500 years of coal reserves and enough underground capacity to store
its entire CO2 emissions for another three centuries. The coal industry may
find its key to survival in the low-carbon economy of the future. It’s up to
governments to decide whether to support this technology, or if in fact “no
coal” is better than “clean coal.”
