Teaching Notes and Tips
Assessment
There are three main CO2 storage reservoirs / options (see reading assignment):
1) Ocean
2) Geologic (deep saline aquifers, depleted oil/gas reservoir)
3) Mineral carbonation
What are the pros & cons of storing CO2 in the ocean, in geologic reservoirs or in form of minerals (mineral carbonation)? Post a 400-500 word written response to Courseworks. Cite the assigned reading.
