Unlike the traditional model, which uses a single impermeable rock to trap CO2, composite retention systems use a network of small, discontinuous barriers. These barriers help distribute the CO2 plume over a wider area of the formation, reducing the risk of leaks and “immobilizing the gas more effectively.”
The study showed that these composite systems can provide reliable CO2 control even with relatively small geological changes. The scientists are now working to create implementation guidelines to standardize the use of these systems and “improve carbon storage practices worldwide.”
