Abstract

CO₂ capture and sequestration (CCS) is a major means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially from centralized energy conversion sites. Many studies have been conducted either on the CO₂ capture side or on the sequestration side, but research on CO₂ transport, which connects the capture side and the sequestration side, is rather limited. CO₂ capture sites and sequestration sites are usually not geographically located in the same region, thus planning ...
