“…This is especially important if the ethics management mechanisms are not established. The identification of key evaluation criteria and recommendations in the site evaluation process should provide clear inputs for costs-risks-investment business decisions[150]. Studies on site-selection and -evaluation criteria for CO2 storage in geological formations have highlighted that the main criteria to be considered are geological, geothermal, geohazards, hydrodynamic, hydrocarbon potential and basin maturity, and economic, societal, and environmental issues[36,[151][152][153][154][155][156].…”

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as an urgent, strategic and essential approach to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions, and mitigate the severe consequences of climate change. CO2 storage is the last step in the CCS chain and can be implemented mainly through oceanic and underground geological sequestration, and mineral carbonation. This review paper aims to provide state-of-the-art developments in CO2 storage. The review initially discussed the potential options for CO2 storage by highlighting the present status, current challenges and uncertainties associated with further deployment of established approaches (such as storage in saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas reservoirs) and feasibility demonstration of relatively newer storage concepts (such as hydrate storage and CO2-based enhanced geothermal systems). The second part of the review outlined the critical criteria that are necessary for storage site selection, including geological, geothermal, geohazards, hydrodynamic, basin maturity, and economic, societal and environmental factors. In the third section, the focus was on identification of CO2 behaviour within the reservoir during and after injection, namely injection-induced seismicity, potential leakage pathways, and long-term containment complexities associated with CO2-brine-rock interaction. In addition, a detailed review on storage capacity estimation methods based on different geological media and trapping mechanisms was provided. Finally, an overview of major CO2 storage projects, including their overall outcomes, were outlined. This review indicates that although CO2 storage is a technically proven strategy, the discussed challenges need to be addressed in order to accelerate the deployment of the technology. In addition, beside the necessity of technoeconomic aspects, public acceptance of CO2 storage plays a central role in technology deployment, and the current ethical mechanisms need to be further improved.

“…There are many uncertainties in CCUS system [32][33][34], such as storage potentials. Their impact on the pipeline layout could be significant and the uncertainty analysis is needed in order to improve reliability and practicability of the pipeline network.…”

“…Field F7.4 (67 papers, 31% of C7) explored optimisation models for CO 2 transport. Key papers included Fimbres and Wiley [159] (d = 140), who, after reviewing several CCS network optimisation methodologies, proposed to start with determining the characteristics of a near-optimal CCS pipeline network by taking a whole systems approach to the minimum total cost per tonne of CO 2 avoided in a "steady-state"; Knoope et al [160] (d = 127), who modelled a transportation network under uncertainty using a real option approach (ROA), and without uncertainty, using a perfect foresight (PF) model; and Mechleri et al [161] (d = 110), who presented an optimisation methodology for the "right-size" CO 2 transport infrastructure, by taking into account the future variability in CO 2 flow (including periods of zero flow) due to an increasing share of renewables, and therefore a reduced load of fossil fuel-fired power plants.…”

For many years, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been discussed as a technology that may make a significant contribution to achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. At present, however, only two large-scale power plants capture a total of 2.4 Mt CO 2 /a. Several reasons are identified for this mismatch between expectations and realised deployment. Applying bibliographic coupling, the research front of CCS, understood to be published peer-reviewed papers, is explored to scrutinise whether the current research is sufficient to meet these problems. The analysis reveals that research is dominated by technical research (69%). Only 31% of papers address non-technical issues, particularly exploring public perception, policy, and regulation, providing a broader view on CCS implementation on the regional or national level, or using assessment frameworks. This shows that the research is advancing and attempting to meet the outlined problems, which are mainly non-technology related. In addition to strengthening this research, the proportion of papers that adopt a holistic approach may be increased in a bid to meet the challenges involved in transforming a complex energy system. It may also be useful to include a broad variety of stakeholders in research so as to provide a more resilient development of CCS deployment strategies.
