Different types <strong>of</strong> CCS projects <strong>and</strong> the <strong>CDM</strong><br />

• Two ma<strong>in</strong> types <strong>of</strong> CCS projects which may be eligible for the <strong>CDM</strong> <strong>in</strong> the<br />

future:<br />

- geological CCS projects which store anthropogenic CO2 <strong>in</strong> deep sal<strong>in</strong>e<br />

reservoirs or spent oil/gas reservoirs<br />

- geological CCS projects which store anthropogenic CO2 <strong>in</strong> produc<strong>in</strong>g fossil<br />

fuel reservoirs e.g enhanced oil recovery (EOR)<br />

• Oceanic storage <strong>of</strong> anthropogenic CO 2 is unlikely to be eligible for the <strong>CDM</strong><br />

anytime soon<br />

• Chemically fix<strong>in</strong>g CO 2 is still <strong>in</strong> the research stage <strong>and</strong> unlikely to be<br />

economically feasible <strong>in</strong> the foreseeable future, even if the <strong>CDM</strong> is utilized
