Carbon capture and geological storage (CCS) is presently the only
way that we can make deep cuts in emissions from fossil fuel-based,
large-scale sources of CO2 such as power stations and industrial
plants. But if this technology is to be acceptable to the
community, it is essential that it is credibly demonstrated by
world-class scientists and engineers in an open and transparent
manner at a commercially significant scale. The aim of the
Australian Otway Project was to do just this. Geologically Storing
Carbon provides a detailed account of the CO2CRC Otway Project, one
of the most comprehensive demonstrations of the deep geological
storage or geosequestration of carbon dioxide undertaken anywhere.
This book of 18 comprehensive chapters, written by leading experts
in the field, is more than a record of outstanding science- it is
about "learning by doing". For example, it explains how the project
was organised, managed, funded and constructed, as well as the
approach taken to community issues, regulations and approvals. It
also describes how to understand the site: Are the rocks
mechanically suitable? Will the CO2 leak? Is there enough storage
capacity? Is monitoring effective? This is the book for geologists,
engineers, regulators, project developers, industry, communities,
indeed anyone who wants to better understand how a carbon storage
project really works. It is also for people concerned with
obtaining an in-depth appreciation of one of the key technology
options for decreasing greenhouse emissions to the atmosphere.
