This report follows the preliminary assessment of the potential for carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in geological settings in Nevada (Price et al. 2005) by more thoroughly evaluating the potentials for reaction of CO2 with naturally occurring minerals and for use of CO2 in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The results of these two evaluations have been published by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (Sturmer et al. 2007 for the mineral-reaction work; LaPointe et al. 2007 for the EOR work). This contract report combines those two reports.
