The data base of investigation results of saline aquifers for CO2 storage in Japan.

Abstract: To evaluate the probable storage volume of CO₂ in Japan, the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE) and the Engineering Advancement Association of Japan (ENAA) collected and organized a wide range of geological information on Japanese sedimentary basins, and estimated a CO₂ storage capacity during a period between 2006 and 2009 . In an attempt to optimize the investigation efforts and to share the information, the vast amount of geological data collected were then reorganized into a database system where the investigation results could be readily accessed and browsed. This paper represents the outline of the database system. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
