  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Carbon dioxide (CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;) capture and sequestration in geologic media is one among many emerging strategies to reduce atmospheric emissions of anthropogenic CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;. This chapter looks at the potential of deep saline aquifers – based on their capacity and close proximity to large point sources of CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt; – as repositories for the geologic sequestration of CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;. The petrochemical characteristics which impact on the suitability of saline aquifers for CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt; sequestration and the role of coupled geochemical transport models and numerical tools in evaluating site feasibility are also examined. The full-scale commercial CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt; sequestration project at Sleipner is described together with ongoing pilot and demonstration projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
