Abstract Carbon dioxide has gradually found widespread usage in the field of science and engineering while various efforts have focused on ways to combat menace resulting from release this compound atmosphere. A major approach combating is by storage geological formations ranging depleted reservoir types such as saline aquifers other carbon sinks. In research study, we reviewed experimental, modeling, studies related underground CO 2 . considerable amount been conducted simulating modeling sequestration subsurface. This review highlights some latest contributions. Additionally, impact its surroundings due chemical reactions, adsorption, capillarity, hysteresis, wettability were reviewed. Some challenges associated with injection also highlighted. Finally, work presents a brief history selected scale projects Sleipner, Weyburn, Salah, Otway Basin, Snøhvit, Alberta, Boundary Dam, Cranfield, Ketzin. Thus, study provides guide process perspectives modelling, existing studies.
