Carbon capture and storage

In August 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that it had picked Yale University for a $1.5 million project to develop carbon capture technologies to store carbon dioxide. The project is among 15 at a cost of $21.3 million over three years nationally to try and develop technology to store carbon dioxide in geologic formations. Yale will study questions about the chemical and mechanical processes for carbonation to be practical on a large scale. Geologic storage is focused on depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline formations, unmineable coal seams, and other areas. [2]
