Simulating secure carbon dioxide storage

ScienceDaily: The race is on to develop the most secure solution for storing carbon dioxide in Earth's crust. A small Norwegian company has developed a method for studying precisely how this greenhouse gas is bound inside rock. CO2 capture and storage is a key measure for mitigating climate change. The gas can be pumped into Earth's crust and deposited in various types of porous rock that is currently saturated with seawater. But how secure against leakage is this practice, and what is the holding capacity...
