This book has been prepared by the CO₂ Capture Project, an international effort funded by eight of the world’s leading energy companies that seeks to address the issue of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a manner that will contribute to an environmentally acceptable and competitively priced continuous energy supply for the world.

The intent is to provide a guide to the major technical issues related to the subsurface geological storage of carbon dioxide. The target audience is people interested in CO₂ capture and storage (CCS). It contains both general information and specific details about technologies and applications that are likely to be used in CCS. We hope that it will engage a wide range of people including policy-makers, the public, and even many of our energy industry colleagues who are less familiar with CCS.

The authors offer their insights on expectations for CCS based on many years of cumulative experience developing analogous oil and gas projects, complemented by knowledge gained by the first eight years of the CO₂ Capture Project. Within this publication a number of case studies are summarized to give a deeper insight into the technical issues involved.
