Acid Gas Injection and Carbon Capture and Storage
Advantages
The Advantages of Disposing Acid Gas and CO2 by Injection into Depleted Reservoirs or Deep Saline Aquifers:
- An effective, safe, and permanent solution
- Environmentally friendly – reduces greenhouse gas emissions
- Eliminates emissions violations
- Increases throughput of natural gas plants
- Relatively inexpensive in comparison to traditional handling practices (i.e., Sulfur Recovery Units)
- Eliminates costs associated with Sulfur Recovery Units
- Provides CO2 sequestration benefits – obtain enhanced value under anticipated cap and trade or carbon tax
