The UK became a net importer of natural gas in 2004 and by 2020 will import up to 90% of its requirements, leaving it vulnerable to increasing energy bills and risk of disruption to supply. New pipelines to Europe and improvements to interconnectors will meet some demand, but Government recognises the need for increased gas storage capacity: best met by the construction of underground storage facilities. Energy security has also raised the likelihood of a new generation of coal-fired power-stations, which to be environmentally viable, will require clean-coal technologies with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. A key element of this strategy will be underground CO2 storage. This volume reviews the technologies and issues involved in the underground storage of natural gas and CO2, with examples from the UK and overseas. The potential for underground storage of other gases such as hydrogen, or compressed air linked to renewable sources is also reviewed.

A timely book with a topic that requires the attention of everybody involved in the energy business. but also of concerned citizens that need accurate information. As such wholeheartedly recommended, also to a large public.
The book contains several well-written papers and meticulously compiled data sets, and it would make a valued addition to the collection of any geoscientist or geoenvironmental engineer who is interested in underground storage, or waste disposal for that matter.
