Carbon dioxide storage involves keeping the CO₂ secured deep underground in a geological [[reservoir]]. Carbon dioxide can be stored geologically in a variety of different options ([[:file:CO2StorageOptions.JPG|Figure 1]]). These include depleted oil and gas fields, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), deep saline formations, deep unmineable coal seams, enhanced coalbed methane recovery (ECBMR), and other opportunities such as salt caverns.<ref name=Cook_1998>Cook, P.
