Abstract
This post examines the ethical issues raised by geologic carbon storage, a somewhat promising but not yet fully proven potential solution to human-induced climate change. Carbon capture and storage technologies are comprised of a variety of technologies for removing carbon dioxide from fuel combustion (capture) and storing the CO2 in reservoirs other than the atmosphere (e.g., by injecting the carbon dioxide into geologic formation for long-term storage instead of releasing it into the atmosphere). This post focuses on the questions arising from CO2 storage in geological reservoirs."(p.1).
