Carbon Capture and Storage: Protecting Freshwater Resources
The overall goal of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is to inject CO2 that has been captured from a point source, such as a power plant, into a deep underground storage formation and ensure that it remains there. Maintaining the security of that CO2 is crucial to protecting our water resources. This fact sheet identifies the keys to successfully protect water resources during CCS and introduces the evolving regulatory framework set up for that purpose.View/Download Document
