Arlington, Va.) Studies will be conducted at the CarbFix CO 2 pilot injection site in Iceland. Carbon storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs can also increase oil or gas production, while storage of CO 2 in deep saline formations holds the promise of enormous worldwide capacity, with estimates of thousands of gigatonnes of storage.
