About this title

Synopsis

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.

Review

A two-day conference was held in Aberdeen (October 2004), organised by the Geological Society on 'The Future Developments and Requirements for Underground Gas Storage (UGS) in the UK and Europe'. This yielded fifteen papers that are gathered in this volume; 8 from the UK, 2 from Germany, 2 from the USA and one each from Canada, The Netherlands and Denmark.

A timely book with a topic that requires the attention of everybody involved in the energy business. but also of concerned citizens that need accurate information. As such wholeheartedly recommended, also to a large public. --T. J. A. Reijers , Geo-Training & Travel, Anderen, The Netherlands
