Burying CO2 To Combat Global Warming

Researchers in Japan have made great advances in demonstrating the viability of burying carbon dioxide emissions underground. Since CO2 has been fingered as the main culprit in the trend towards global warming, this research is invaluable on the world scene.

Computer simulations have been used in this research to predict how these gases will behave after being stored underground, allowing researchers to determine long-term effects before proceeding with this endeavour on a large scale.

Interest in sub-seabed storage - a method of sealing carbon dioxide (CO2) under the seabed - has been growing. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is believed to be the principal cause of global warming, and the underground sequestration of the gas is regarded as a very promising method for reducing carbon dioxide emissions, which is considered one of the most vital environmental issues facing humankind. It is estimated that up to 90 billion tons of carbon dioxide can be stored in subterranean locations... This corresponds to 70 to 80 years' worth of Japanese carbon dioxide emissions.
