1. - Carbon capture and storage as a mitigation of greenhouse gas effects.

Geological storage of carbon dioxide, CO₂, in underground formations has the potential to be a major component of any viable solution to reduce greenhouse gases emitted into atmosphere [1,2]. The use of wells for CO₂ storage in geological formation may have problems due to the degradation of the conventional Portland cement, which can lead to CO₂ leakage from the well [3].
