Studies have shown that CO2 can be safely stored underground, such as in deep, porous rock formations, to solve issues related to carbon emissions. Formation rocks have the capacity to store carbon emissions, and this capacity depends on the rock type, depth, and fluids contained in the rock. CO2 geostorage has different trapping mechanisms with numerous factors influencing trapping potential, including geochemical and geomechanical effects and the associated seal integrity.
This Call for Papers aims to provide a platform for the scientific community to present their high-quality research in CO2 geostorage.
We invite Articles, Mini-Reviews, Reviews, or Perspectives on all topics relating to CO2 geostorage, including (but not limited to):
- CO2 trapping mechanisms
- CO2 injectivity
- Geomechanics and geochemistry for CO2 storage
- Storage capacity estimation
- Wellbore integrity for CO2 injection wells
- Containment security and monitoring tools
We welcome submissions for this Virtual Special Issue through 10 December 2023. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed to ensure they fit the scope and meet the high scientific publishing standards of ACS Omega prior to acceptance.
If your paper is accepted, your work will be highlighted as a significant contribution to this growing field of exploration. As ACS Omega is a fully open access journal, your paper will be available to anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world.
Accepted publications will go online as soon as possible after acceptance and be published in the next available issue. In the Fall of 2023, the publications on this topic will be gathered into a virtual special issue on a dedicated webpage and be promoted as a collection.
If you have any general questions regarding submission to this Virtual Special Issue, please contact Prof. Mohamed Mahmoud, Dr. Muhammad Arif, and Dr. Yihuai Zhang.
