Studies show that CO 2can be stored underground for thousands of years
1 IN SALAH STORAGE PROJECT
ALGERIA
For almost two decades, the Algerian state oil and gas company has been separating CO2 from the natural gas it mines from the depths of the Sahara Desert. To extract gas in this way, the CO2 impurities need to be separated. Instead of releasing this by-product into the atmosphere, the In Salah gas field works to compress the CO2 and pump it back into the ground, below the sandstone.
