Giovanni Ruggieri and Fabrizio Gherardi, guest editors of the Minerals Special Issue “Geological and Mineralogical Sequestration of CO2”, are happy to invite researchers involved in the study of CO2 sequestration to submit their contributions.

The rapid increase of concentrations of greenhouse gases, anthropologically-generated (primarily CO2) in the atmosphere, is responsible for global warming and ocean acidification. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) techniques have been proposed and developed to contrast the rise of CO2 in atmosphere.

This Special Issue aims to collect articles covering various aspects of recent scientific advances of CO2 storage, including characterization of storage formations and cap-rocks and their behavior during CO2 injection, storage modelling studies for test design, test site results and environmental monitoring, numerical modelling of geochemical-mineralogical reactions and CO2 flow, studies of natural analogues of CO2 storage and CO2 mineral sequestration, and experimental investigations to better understand long-term geological storage and carbonation processes.

The manuscripts can be submitted until 19 July 2019.
