CO2 Capture Project
The CO2 Capture Project is a joint project comprising eight of the world's leading energy companies, aiming to reduce the cost of carbon dioxide capture from combustion sources and developing methods for safely storing carbon dioxide underground.
Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies
The Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducts research into technologies to capture, utilize, and store carbon dioxide from large stationary sources.
Carbon Dioxide Capture and Geologic Storage
Overview from the United States Energy Information Administration.
Carbon Sequestration
Introduction to carbon sequestration and related issues from the United States Department of Energy.
Climate, Forests and People Information Desk
The aim of the website is to discuss, in the context of Clean Development Mechanism projects, approaches to environmentally-sound and socially-equitable afforestation and reforestation activities in developing countries at a project scale and how to address the synergies and trade-offs that may arise.
Direct Experiments on the Ocean Disposal of Fossil Fuel CO2
Web page contains images and video related to a paper published in Science on a deep ocean carbon dioxide release experiment conducted at a depth of 3627 m in Monterey Bay to test various ideas concerning the deep ocean sequestration of carbon dioxide in a real-world environment.
Enhancing Carbon Sequestration in Terrestrial Ecosystems
The research consortium, CSiTE, will perform fundamental research that will lead to acceptable methods to enhance carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems as one component of a carbon management strategy.
High Resolution Ocean Simulations of Direct Carbon Dioxide Injection
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have performed high-resolution simulations of direct injection of fossil-fuel carbon in an ocean general circulation model to help to assess the relative effectiveness of different injection sites and depths for ocean carbon sequestration.
Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment of the carbon dioxide capture and storage issue, published in 2005. The Summary for Policymakers is available as a 0.5Mb download.
The Feasibility of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in the UK
