Update of the 2014 monograph on Carbon Capture published by PTECO2. Once the financial crisis is over and with the horizon of fulfil The Paris Agreement, there are enough novelties that justify this reissue:

​The main objective of this publication is to make this experience available to the public, collecting the best practices that have been identified and, at the same time, highlighting the avant-garde position that Spanish research in this field occupies in the European context.

Update of the 2012 Monographic (2nd edition). The geological storage of CO2 is the final stage of the entire process of Carbon Capture, Transportation and Storage of carbon dioxide from anthropogenic emissions in large fossil energy consuming centers. The need to store large volumes so that the technologies are effective gives a fundamental importance to the identification of sites with storage capacity, to an adequate characterization of them and to the realization of a series of studies that allow a correct evaluation and prevention of the risks associated with these technologies, as occurs in any industrial activity. 

This PTECO2 publication expands upon various aspects of geological CO2 storage such as characterising the structure of the subsoil to be used for storage or the surface operation, with the aim of storing CO2 with optimal security for both people and the environment. The paper was drawn up with contributions by experts from the institutions belonging to the Platform.
