283 pages : illustrations (some color), maps (some color) ; 26 cm. The UK became a net importer of natural gas in 2004 and by 2020 will import up to 90% of its requirements, leaving it vulnerable to increasing energy bills and risk of disruption to supply. New pipelines to Europe and improvements to interconnectors will meet some demand, but Government recognises the need for increased gas storage capacity: best met by the construction of underground storage facilities. Energy security has also raised the likelihood of a new generation of coal-fired power-stations, which to be environmentally viable, will require clean-coal technologies with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. A key element of this strategy will be underground CO2 storage. This volume reviews the technologies and issues involved in the underground storage of natural gas and CO2, with examples from the UK and overseas. The potential for underground storage of other gases such as hydrogen, or compressed air linked to renewable sources is also reviewed.

Inhaltsangabe

Editors Evans and Chadwick (British Geological Survey) and 29 co-contributors discuss the technologies and issues associated with the underground storage of natural gas and carbon dioxide. Citing examples from Britain and overseas, the authors also explore the potential for underground storage of other gases, such as hydrogen and compressed air from renewable sources. A sampling of topics includes: the importance of gas storage in Britain, an onshore operator's perspective, needs and technologies, a review of onshore British salt deposits and their potential for underground storage, environmental and safety monitoring, and an overlooked source of risk and liability for underground gas storage. Numerous tables and illustrations are included. Annotation �2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
