Global geologic carbon storage requirements of climate change mitigation scenarios
Christopher Zahasky, Samuel Krevor
Abstract
Growth rate analysis indicates IPCC 2100 storage targets are achievable, however tradeoffs exist between CO<sub>2</sub> storage resource requirements, storage growth rate, and growth duration, with a ceiling on required storage resources of 2700 Gt.
