LIMITING EMISSIONS OF THE GREENHOUSE GAS, CO2

While considerable global warming uncertainties remain, limiting the emission of the greenhouse gas, CO2, at minimum cost is a growing social concern. An approach suggested is to generate electricity by processes that facilitate capture of the CO2, and then to compress and inject it into suitable underground formations. By using formations containing uneconomical deposits of energy sources such as oil, gas, Fe++, coal, etc., underground bioconversion of the CO2 to recoverable fuel forms may prove possible.
