Scientists have developed a way to detect and track carbon dioxide deep underground, giving the government an important tool that may help people find a way to keep carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from polluting the atmosphere.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory used colorless, nontoxic liquids called perflourocarbon tracers to basically fingerprint carbon dioxide that was injected into a coal seam in northwestern New Mexico.
They were able to follow the carbon dioxides movements by tracking the tracers.
Brian Strazisar, a physical scientist at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh, said that using the tracers helps to eliminate some of the uncertainty surrounding carbon capture and sequestration.
