The bond angle for water is 104.5°. Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory (/ ˈ v ɛ s p ər, v ə ˈ s ɛ p ər / VESP-ər, [1]: 410 və-SEP-ər [2]) is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms.

Carbfix is an Icelandic company founded in 2007. It has developed an approach to permanently store CO 2 by dissolving it in water and injecting it into basaltic rocks. Once in the subsurface, the injected CO 2 reacts with the host rock forming stable carbonate minerals, thus providing permanent storage of the injected CO 2 [1]

The Midale fields were injected with 0.4 Mtpa and the Weyburn fields are injected with 2.4 Mtpa for a total injection capacity of 2.8 Mtpa. The Weyburn-Midale Carbon Dioxide Project (or IEA GHG Weyburn-Midale CO 2 Monitoring and Storage Project), was conducted there. Injection continued even after the study concluded.
Although carbon storage is deemed by most scientists as an essential element to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, [6] [7] the cost of removal of the CO 2, the transportation and then the eventual storage of the gas, is quite prohibitive, [8] and as countries have pledged a net zero economy by 2050, [9] efforts have been concentrated on ...
Diagram of mechanisms for trapping carbon dioxide in dedicated geologic storage. Storing CO 2 involves the injection of captured CO 2 into a deep underground geological reservoir of porous rock overlaid by an impermeable layer of rocks, which seals the reservoir and prevents the upward migration of CO 2 and escape into the atmosphere.
The Weyburn-Midale Carbon Dioxide Project (or IEA GHG Weyburn-Midale CO 2 Monitoring and Storage Project) was, as of 2008, the world's largest carbon capture and storage project. [1] It has since been overtaken in terms of carbon capture capacity by projects such as the Shute Creek project and the Century Plant.
The SRES scenarios have been used to project future atmospheric GHG concentrations. Under the six illustrative SRES scenarios, the IPCC Third Assessment Report (2001) [18] projects the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the year 2100 as between 540 and 970 parts per million (ppm).
