Mechanisms and advantages of CO2 storage in basalt reservoirs

Storage of CO2 in geological formations depends on a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms such as physical trapping below caprocks or trapping by dissolution in groundwater. The most effective storage mechanism is the permanent mineralisation of CO2 by conversion into carbonate minerals (Benson et al. , 2005).
