f Issues in Establishing a Geological Storage Hub for CO2

BP Amoco has accepted the growing consensus that there may be a link between emissions of<br>anthropogenic CO2 and climate change and that it is appropriate to take prudent precautionary<br>measures now. Improvements in energy efficiency and more generally in energy management<br>represent the best options for reducing CO2 emissions from power generated from fossil fuels using<br>current technology. In the longer term, renewable energy sources such as solar power offer<br>considerable potential. However, in the interim period, options to remove additional CO2 over and<br>above those achievable from energy management are likely to be required. Capture and geological<br>storage of CO2 is a key option to meet this anticipated demand.
