1. Abandoned and uneconomic coal seams
2. Depleted oil and gas reservoirs
3. subterranean deep saline formations

Select the correct answer using the code given below:

• A. 1 and 2 only
• B. 3 only
• C. 1 and 3 only
• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Geologic Sequestration (GS) is the process of injecting carbon dioxide (CO2), captured from an industrial (e.g., steel and cement production) or energy-related source (e.g., a power plant or natural gas processing facility), into deep subsurface rock formations for long-term storage. Abandoned coal seams, depleted reservoirs and subterranean deep saline formations can all be used for carbon sequestration.
