The underground disposal of carbon dioxide : final report

The purpose of Joule II Project Number CT92-0031 'The
Underground Disposal of Carbon Dioxide' is to examine
the potential for reducing C02 emissions to the Earth's
atmosphere from fossil fuel fired power plant by disposing
of this CO2 underground. The report discusses whether this
could be done practically, safely and economically, with
minimal long term effects on man or the global environment.
The report concentrates on the C02 disposal process
but also includes a detailed study of the technical and
economic optimisation of C02-removal in a lignite-fired
IGCC power plant.
