The Introduction of the Special Issue

With increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) has been known as an effective method for reducing CO2 emissions from the use of fossil fuels. The technology of storing CO2 with enhanced oil recovery(CO2-EOR) has recently attracted interests since it has immense potential to increase the economic output of a CCS project and reduce the overall cost. Simulations and experiments illustrate that CCUS in geological formations such as oil and gas reservoirs can store large volumes of carbon dioxide as well as provide energy recover improvements.
