CO2 storage is part of the carbon capture and storage (CCS) process chain, which extends all the way from CO2 separation to final disposal, which is making an important contribution to sustainable energy production.
However, the CO2 sequestration step is still in developmental stages. Linde is participating in investigations into technologies capable of injecting CO2 into plutonic rock over long periods of time. Linde is also involved in a further pilot project investigating the use of carbon dioxide to increase natural gas/oil recovery rates (enhanced gas/oil recovery, or EGR/EOR).
