Assessing COâ‚‚ Trapping Capacity of Coal and Sedimentary Strata Below Vancouver Island, B.C.
I am a PhD researcher in Earth Sciences at 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏ. My research investigates the potential for storing carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) in coal-bearing and sedimentary rock formations beneath Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Carbon storage in deep geological formations is an important strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. By studying the properties of subsurface rocks and evaluating different COâ‚‚ trapping mechanisms, I aim to determine how much carbon dioxide can be safely and permanently stored underground. This research will help improve our understanding of geological carbon storage and support the development of low-carbon energy solutions in Canada.
