Structural controls on the location and distribution of CO2 emission at a natural CO2 spring in Daylesford, Australia

Secure storage of CO2 is imperative for carbon capture and storage technology, and relies on a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of CO2 retention and leakage. Observations at CO2 seeps around the world find that geological structures at a local and regional scale control the location, distribution and style of CO2 emission. Bedrock-hosted natural CO2 seepage is found in the Daylesford region in Victoria, Australia, where many natural...
