Nagaoka Project

Project Overview

This project is being conducted to address and clarify various issues, including behaviour of CO2 during and after injection, long-term stability of CO2 in the reservoir, and potential costs, associated with geosequestration. Between July 2003 and January 2005, 10,405 tonnes of CO2 was injected into an aquifer, which is located above a Category A aquifer. Data on the behaviour of the CO2 during and after injection was obtained and used for analysis and evaluation. During this process a greater understanding of CO2 storage mechanisms was gained.
