A demonstration project in Australia has helped to verify that depleted natural gas reservoirs can be used for geologic carbon sequestration, a climate change mitigation strategy that involves pumping CO2 deep underground for permanent storage. The project, which includes Berkeley Lab earth scientists Barry Freifeld and Tom Daley, also demonstrated that depleted gas fields have enough CO2 storage capacity to make a significant contribution to reducing global emissions.
