Abstract:

 Fossil energy resource is an important safeguard for rapid development of modern industry, but since the industrial revolution, the results of immoderately consuming of energy resource put a mass of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and led to a series of environment problems, in which the warming global climate warming is the most fearful problem. Now, people have cognizance of this problem’s ponderance and make a move, and the geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important project that can be taken to mitigate CO emission to the atmosphere in response to climate change. Aiming at the reduce to the greenhouse gas emission to the atmosphere, this paper analyses detailly geologic storage of carbon dioxide and discusses the fashions of geologic storage in the south of Jiangsu Province. At a result that three candidate fashions have been identified, such as the CO2 storage in oil and gas reservoirs of Subei oil company for enhancing the oil and gas recovery, CO adsorption in thin coalbeds and in deep saline aquifers or poor oil and gas reservoirs of Jurong basin. Particularly, this paper points out that Jurong basin will be an important site for geologic storage of carbon dioxide, meanwhile the CO2 geologic storage will include huge commercial opportunity.
