| Summary | In accordance with the Kyoto Protocol, Russia has committed not to increase emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere compared to the situation in 1990. One of the most promising technologies to improve the ecological balance in environment is disposal of carbon dioxide of industrial wastes in deep geological structures. The paper deals with the physical properties of carbon dioxide, depending on the phase state, and various underground storage of gases, which can be arranged in the reservoir geological structures, in the former minings (depleted oil and gas deposits), as well as in low permeability sediments (e.g., in the rock salt deposits). The features of the interaction of carbon dioxide with the geological environment are also considered. | ||
