Putting carbon dioxide back in the subsurface - possibilities in Croatia

Capture and geological storage of CO2 represents an option to avoid emissions of this greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, by capturing CO2 from major stationary sources, transporting it by pipelines or ships and injecting it into deep underground reservoirs. Deployment of these systems could help Croatia to stay within the limitations set by the Kyoto Protocol. There are reservoir formations with favourable conditions in the southern Pannonian basin as well as in the Adriatic off-shore that could be prepared for geological storage. Depleted oil and gas reservoirs might be the most promising in the beginning, particularly in the initiated EOR operations, but much larger potential can be assigned to the regionally extending deep saline aquifers.
