Numerical Modeling of Aquifer Disposal of CO2

Summary Disposal of CO2 from stationary sources (fossil-fired power plants) into brackish (saline) aquifers has been suggested as a possible means of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Injection of CO2 into such aquifers would be carried out at supercritical conditions and would give rise to the evolution of a two-phase fluid system, in which most of the injected CO2 will reside in a dense supercritical gas phase, while...
