Hydro-mechanical interactions in coal geo-sequestration of carbon dioxide

社会面临的最严重的环境问题之一是全球变暖，因为燃烧化石燃料释放的二氧化碳浓度不断增加。将二氧化碳储存在地下，即地质封存，有望显著减少大气中的二氧化碳排放，特别是来自燃煤发电站的二氧化碳排放量，这些发电站占澳大利亚二氧化碳排放量的40%。拟议的项目将导致更好的理解和减少在深层不可开采的煤炭矿床中注入和储存二氧化碳的风险。这将有助于减少全球变暖的国家努力，保护澳大利亚煤炭工业，并允许燃煤电厂继续发电。

One of the most critical environmental issues facing society is that of global warming because of increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide released from burning of fossil fuels. Storage of CO2 in the ground, geo-sequestration, offers the promise of significant reductions in atmospheric CO2 release, particularly from coal fired power stations which produce 40% of Australia's CO2 emissions. The proposed project will lead to greater understanding and reduced risks during the injection and storage of CO2 in deep unmineable coal deposits. This will contribute to national efforts to reduce global warming, safeguard the Australian coal industry, and allow continued electricity generation from coal-fired plants.
