Abstract Deep saline aquifers account for more than 90% of the global theoretical geological CO2 sequestration capacity, making them the dominant choice for large-scale CO2 storage. These aquifers offer vast storage potential, especially in comparison to oil and gas reservoirs, which are often considered for CO2 geological sequestration. Despite their significant storage capacity, deep saline aquifers face several challenges that hinder their practical application. In particular, the lack of adequate geological infrastructure and exploration conditions for deep saline aquifers presents major obstacles to the effective monitoring of CO2 migration and predicting leakage risks. These challenges are compounded by… More >
