About 80 Gt reduction in CO2 emission via carbon capture and storage (CCS)

is needed before year 2050 in a 2°C emission budget

IEA, 2015. Energy technology perspectives 2015, Paris: OECD/IEA. 2DS = 2°C Scenario

CO2(g) + H2O = H2CO3(aq)

H2CO3 = HCO3- + H+

HCO3- = CO3

2- + H+

Dissolution reactions:

Basaltic rock + xH+ …..→ Mg2+ + Ca2+ + Fe2+ + Al 3++SiO2(aq)….

Precipitation reactions:

Ca2+ + CO32- → CaCO3

calcite, (siderite, magnesite……)

“calcite”

Dissolution reactions:

Basaltic rock + xH+ → Mg2+ + Ca2+ + Fe2+ + Al3++SiO2(aq)….

Precipitation reactions:

Fe2+ + S2- → FeS (s)

Pyrite (FeS2) – pyrrhotite(Fe1-xSx) simplified reaction

H2S(g) = H2S(aq)

H2S(aq) = HS- + H+

HS- = S2- + H+H2S gas

bubbles

CO2 H2S

“pyrite”

CO2 and H2S gas mixed with

conservative volatile tracers,

SF6 and SF5CF3

The Hellisheiði Power

Plant:

Injected 175 tonnes of

pure CO2 in January-

March 2012

Injected 73 tonnes of

CO2-H2S-H2 gas mixture

(75%-24%-1%) in June-

August 2012

Water pumped to the

injection site and the carbon

was labeled with14C

2 kg/s of water

pumped out of the first

monitoring well

Temperature 20-50°C.

Distance 125 m at 520

m depth.
