Geology of Serbia and Potential Localities for Geological Storage of CO2

Global warming, or global temperature increase with potential catastrophic consequences for life on the Earth, is caused by the following gases: carbon-dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), hydro- and perfluorine-carbonate mixtures (HFCs and PFCs), as well as sulphur-hexafluoride (SF6). Four ways for solving greenhouse gases reduction are known: 1. Energy efficiency; 2. Renewable energy sources (wind, solar energy, biomass, geothermal energy, energy of tide and waves); 3. (New) fossil fuels followed by geological storage of CO2; 4. Nuclear energy. During oil and gas exploitation, CO2 content is the significant problem. However, the gas emission into atmosphere is one of main carriers of sudden climate changes (Kyoto protocol).
