Geological storage of CO2 is one route to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere and thus mitigating the extent of global warming. Near surface gas geochemistry data have the potential to provide the ultimate indication of escape of injected gas from a CO2 storage scheme into the atmosphere and are important to allay possible public concerns over geological CO2 storage. We have been involved in surface gas studies in relation to two CO2 storage projects at Weyburn, Canada and In Salah, Algeria. The projects are at different stages of development and have points in common but also significant differences. We draw on our experiences at these sites and other related studies to make more general observations on soil gas monitoring for such projects.

Abstract
Geological storage of CO2 is one route to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere and thus mitigating the extent of global warming. Near surface gas geochemistry data have the potential to provide the ultimate indication of escape of injected gas from a CO2 storage scheme into the atmosphere and are important to allay possible public concerns over geological CO2 storage. We have been involved in surface gas studies in relation to two CO2 storage projects at Weyburn, Canada and In Salah, Algeria. The projects are at different stages of development and have points in common but also significant differences. We draw on our experiences at these sites and other related studies to make more general observations on soil gas monitoring for such projects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
