Abstract:
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are one of the major contributors to current global warming, thus technological solutions to reduce these emissions are subject of increasing worldwide interest (e.g. Faiz 2007). Presently, the most technically and economically feasible option for the storage of large volumes of CO2 is geological sequestration (e.g. Root et al. 2004). Successful CO2 geological storage requires detailed analysis of the physical and chemical processes that may occur during and after injection—thus studies of natural CO2 accumulation have become of great importance.
