The first annual report by the new collaboration, the London Register of Subsurface CO₂ Storage, reveals that over 383 million tonnes of carbon dioxide had been stored since 1996 – the equivalent of 81,044,946 petrol-powered cars driven for one year.
The first annual report by the new collaboration, the London Register of Subsurface CO₂ Storage, reveals that over 383 million tonnes of carbon dioxide had been stored since 1996 – the equivalent of 81,044,946 petrol-powered cars driven for one year.
This mass storage is mostly the result of projects in the United States, China, Brazil, Australia and the Middle East, with continued growth projected in 2024-5.
“The central message from our report is that CCS works, demonstrating a proven capability and accelerating momentum for geologic storage of CO₂,” said Professor Samuel Krevor, Director of the Register and Professor of Subsurface Carbon Storage in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering (ESE) at Imperial.
