- Definition
- Compressed gaseous, or liquefied, carbon dioxide injected into underground formations.
- Description
- Underground injection of carbon dioxide for purposes such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and enhanced gas recovery (EGR) is a long-standing practice. Carbon dioxide injection for geologic sequestration involves different technical issues and potentially much larger volumes of carbon dioxide and larger scale projects than for EOR and EGR.
