| Storage method |
Storage in an anticlinal structure |
Storage in a geological structure with a stratigraphic trapping, etc. |
R&D objective
(- FY2007) |
To technologically verify that CO2 can be stored safely in Japan's Category A aquifers for the long term. |
To elucidate the problems related to Category B aquifers in order to expand
storage site options and to improve the economic efficiency of geological
storage. |
| Special note |
Long-term behavior of CO2 is predicted using a simulator which is newly developed from the geological
model of the Iwanohara site. |
It is necessary to clarify the trap mechanism and construct a storage model
based on the basic demonstration test. |
