The article reports on a proposal by chemical engineer Steven Bryant on preventing carbon dioxide (CO2) from leaking from underground stores. He advises engineers to look for deep formations filled with saline instead of injecting compressed CO2 directly into underground formations. Bryant adds that mixing the CO2 with salt water makes it denser than the surrounding salt water, which helps minimize the risk of leakages.
