Introduction The capture and storage of CO2 in deep geological formations is one of the
proposed solutions to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. CO2 is injected as a
supercritical fluid deep below a confining geological formation that prevents its return to the
atmosphere. In general, the next four trapping mechanisms are expected, which are of
increasing importance through time (1) structural,(2) residual saturation,(3) dissolution, and
(4) mineral trapping. The prediction of the mass of CO2 stored through time in storage …
