Ecological Risks of Implementation at the Donbas of Technologies of Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide
Abstract: Mitigating the effects of global climate change is possible through large-scale implementation of technologies for capturing and storing carbon dioxide (СО2), which enters the atmosphere from stationary and mobile sources. The possibilities of storing supercritical СО2 in the geological formations of the Donbas, which have the most significant potential for СО2 storage in Europe, are analyzed. Sources of СО2 emissions, ways of its transportation, and promising areas of its geological storage are determined. The performance and environmental safety ranking among clusters of emission sources and storage sites was performed. The risks of the influence of СО2 leaks on the natural environment are assessed: surface and underground water resources, various types of soils and types of vegetation. Using satellite monitoring, the absorbing properties of vegetation in promising areas of geological storage of СО2 were determined in the event of its leakage from storage facilities. Three scenarios of СО2 leaks are considered and their impact on the environment is estimated.
Keywords: climate change, carbon dioxide, geological storage of СО2, СО2 leakage, water resources, soil, vegetation, environmental safety.
