What We Need to Know for Successful Carbon Sequestration

Despite the scientific discovery of CO₂ in 1756, the properties of CO₂ as would pertain down the geothermal gradient in deep geologic sequestration are still being developed, particularly at pressures greater than 10 atmospheres. This talk will explore what data are yet needed for successful sequestration-designing and what labs are working on obtaining these data.

Meeting at Bryn Mawr College, Park Science Center Room 243, New Gulph Road, Bryn Mawr.
