Comment by Stuart Haszeldine on Zoback and Gorelick (2012)

Abstract

This article by Zoback and Gorelick (PNAS 2012, doi: 10.1073/pnas.1202473109) presents a well argued and fundamental challenge to be proposition that geological storage of CO2 by deep injection of fluid can be an important technology against climate change. The two authors are experienced and well respected senior professors at Stanford University, USA. The challenge certainly deserves to be heard, considered, and rebutted if possible by CCS proponents.
