"Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide" (Second Edition) explores the evolving landscape of carbon capture and storage practices in one comprehensive reference book. Analyzing the global injection of carbon dioxide and growth of CCS projects, this book explores the science and engineering principles underpinning CO2 capture, compression, transport, and geostorage. With a focus on environmental impact assessments, policy changes, and insightful case histories, this resource offers valuable insights for students and professionals transitioning into the field. The book delves into key topics including Anthropogenic Climate Change and the Role of CCUS, CO2 Storage Capacity Modeling, Injectivity and Trapping of CO2, Monitoring Geological CO2 Storage, Long-Term Storage and Sequestration, CO2 Leakage Impacts, Risk Assessment, Public Engagement, Legal Frameworks, Regulation, and Commercial Aspects of CCS. With a spotlight on case histories, this new, updated and expanded edition provides a detailed exploration of the evolving landscape of carbon capture and storage practices, offering a holistic understanding for readers at all levels of expertise. "Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide" (Second Edition) serves as an accessible yet comprehensive guide for individuals transitioning from the petroleum industry or entering the field of CCS directly. With a focus on tackling technical and societal aspects of a CCS career, this resource is invaluable for geoscientists, policymakers, engineers, and environmental scientists seeking to navigate the complexities of carbon capture and storage in today's evolving global energy landscape.

Eric Mackay
Eric Mackay holds the Energi Simulation Chair in CCUS and Reactive Flow Simulation in the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, where he has worked since 1990. His research interests include the study of fluid flow in porous media, such as the flow of oil, gas and water in subsurface geological formations. He has over 100 publications related primarily to maintaining oil production when faced with mineral scale deposition, but since 2005 he has also worked on Carbon Capture and Storage. He is involved in projects identifying methods for calculating secure CO2 storage potential in saline formations and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs. As well as his research interests, Eric is involved in extensive consultancy activities, he delivers short courses for the oil industry and is a technical editor for a number of journals. He has also taught Reservoir Simulation to the residential and distance learning MSc classes at Heriot-Watt University since 1990. Eric holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Edinburgh and a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from Heriot-Watt University.
