Sentences with phrase «in deep saline»

When combined with a separate, related sequestration project starting this fall on the same corn processing plant, the initiative will pump more industrially captured carbon dioxide underneath the earth for permanent storage in deep saline rock reservoirs than ever has been attempted in the United States.

Not exact matches

Sequestration, as envisioned in the report, involves capturing the CO2 from coal - fired power plants, compressing it into a liquid and injecting it deep beneath the earth into old oil fields or saline aquifers.

Some of the power generated would be used to compress the CO2 and pump it deep underground to be permanently stored in saline aquifers.

At a demonstration project in Japan, even a magnitude 6.8 earthquake didn't shake injected CO2 loose from a deep saline aquifer; the wellheads did not so much as leak.

Such rock, known as basalt, might be better than other sites, such as deep saline aquifers or nearly empty oil wells, because the rock not only stores CO2 but also over a relatively short period of years forms carbonate minerals out of it — in other words, limestone.

There, the surface soil is also alkaline and low in salts, but deeper it can turn saline and acidic as the «ice table» is approached, he said.

Pilot projects in Algeria, Japan, and Norway indicate that CO2 can be stored in underground geologic formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep coal seams, and saline aquifers.

Qualitatively, the slow ventilation is consistent with very saline and very cold deep waters reconstructed for the last glacial maximum (Adkins et al., 2002), as well as low glacial stable carbon isotope ratios (13C / 12C) in the deep South Atlantic.

Celery can tolerate saline soils, and it is often planted in deep trenches after reaching between 6 - 8 inches (15 - 20 cm) high.

Most deep water formation (in today's climate) occurs where fairly saline water is chilled to near freezing.

Tristramits survey the Dead Sea, the deepest saline lake in the world.

«The real challenge is in proving not so much the capture part but that you can pipeline and inject this CO2 on a very large scale into a deep saline formation,» he says.

Any leftover carbon dioxide will be stored in a deep underground salt - water reservoir, called a saline aquifer.

In Australia carbon dioxide could theoretically be sequestered in depleted oil or gas fields (not expected to be sufficiently depleted until 2030), deep underground unmineable coal seams, or deep saline aquiferIn Australia carbon dioxide could theoretically be sequestered in depleted oil or gas fields (not expected to be sufficiently depleted until 2030), deep underground unmineable coal seams, or deep saline aquiferin depleted oil or gas fields (not expected to be sufficiently depleted until 2030), deep underground unmineable coal seams, or deep saline aquifers.

They describe salinity carrying heat down in the North Atlantic with a saline North Atlantic causing deep ocean warming.

Carbon capture and storage, or CCS, is a family of technologies and techniques that enable the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fuel combustion or industrial processes, the transport of CO2 via ships or pipelines, and its storage underground, in depleted oil and gas fields and deep saline formations.

In these new plants, the CO2 can be removed, compressed into an oil - like fluid, then injected underground in abandoned gas and oil wells or deep saline aquiferIn these new plants, the CO2 can be removed, compressed into an oil - like fluid, then injected underground in abandoned gas and oil wells or deep saline aquiferin abandoned gas and oil wells or deep saline aquifers.
