Western Canadian study concludes large-scale CO2 storage is safe

A four-year study by the Petroleum Technology Research Centre has concluded that large-scale CO2 storage is safe and can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The study found that most of the injected CO2 will remain in the reservoir, with minimal risk to overlying water zones or the atmosphere.
