Introduction

The global warming is mainly caused by carbon dioxide (CO2). There are measures to mitigate the global warming such as reducing the energy consumption, and expansion of CO2 absorption resources by forests, etc. The aim of our research group is to develop the technologies to store the captured CO2 in the subsurface and ocean as key measures to mitigate the global warming. We have primarily researched geological storage in deep saline aquifers and ocean sequestration by CO2 dilution technology at mid-depth ocean.
