CO2 Sequestration

Soil Sequestration Notes

Carbon Sequestration and Its Role in the Global Carbon Cycle AGU Geophysical Monograph 183 - 2009

• geological CO2 sequestration takes up more room than the extracted fossil fuel, can leak through well bore holes
• CO2 may be stored in geological brine, unknown performance
• p37 The Mauna Loa Carbon Dioxide Record ...
  • a history of the Keeling curve

  • Calcium binds to carbon in these soils
• p189 Erosion of Soil Organic Carbon: Implications for Carbon Sequestration
  • erosion buries some carbon, may exceed depletion from tilling and cropping
