This paper presents interim results of a feasibility study on carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in deep saline formations. The focus of the investigation is to examine factors that may affect chemical sequestration of CO2 in deep saline formations. Findings of the first phase of this investigation were presented in a topical report (Sass et al., 1999a). Preliminary results of the second phase, now underway, have been reported elsewhere (Sass et al., 1999b; 2001). Evaluations of the suitability of Mt. Simon formation for sequestering CO2 and economic issues are reported by Gupta et al., 1999; 2001; Smith et al., 2001). This study is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) under a Novel Concepts project grant.
