CAN WE APPLY SOFT DRINKS INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE FOR ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE CO2 DISPOSAL & PERMANENT ENTRAPMENT IN DEVONIAN AGED HYPERSALINE BRINES IN ALBERTA?

Extracting & maximum Co2 Loading of non-potable hyper-saline brine brought to surface then re-injected into geological horizon of origin.

A Co2 solution that mitigates surface water usage by targeting geographically extensive hyper-saline brines at medium depth to dispose of large volumes of Co2 into horizons that will never be potential sources of potable water. This particular horizon is also capped by an extensive thick top-seal providing for permanent entrapment that is likely economically feasible.
