Several projects are already storing millions of tonnes of CO2 underground and many more are now being planned. Oil and gas companies for many decades have experience of storing natural gas deep underground and using CO2 in oilfields to ‘push’ oil towards producing wells – a technique known as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). The success of these projects provides a great deal of confidence in the potential to store large quantities of CO2 underground – safely and securely.
