Improved monitoring to mitigate fugitive carbon emissions from industrial-scale CO2 storage

Carbon capture and storage requires a scientific basis for a legitimate social licence to be acceptable to the public as a carbon mitigation activity. This research program will augment groundwater monitoring to identify gas leakage around shallow carbon capture sites by integrating new approaches and analytes. In tandem, it will assess the subsurface occurrence of radon and helium and improve the subsurface understanding at a research site with active injection.
