The Earth’s climate has been affected by human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. These activities have caused the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Fossil fuels are composed of compounds that absorbed atmospheric carbon millions of years ago. Burning these fossil fuels accounts for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of total CO2 emissions. Furthermore, according to 2024 statistics, annual CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels have reached 37.4 billion tons. For this reason, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is considered a crucial strategy for reducing CO2 emissions. CO2 storage is proposed as an effective method to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, this article examines various methods of CO2 storage in subsurface structures, including aquifers, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, unminable coal seams, and basalt formations. The stability of CO2 storage and various trapping mechanisms are the main topics of this research. The findings indicate that CO2 storage technology is becoming a valuable and effective method. This article also discusses the prospects and economic opportunities of CO2 storage, emphasizing its practical potential in combating climate change. Many countries are also interested in storing CO2 in their subsurface structures. Solutions are presented in this article for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to pave the way for the development of more efficient, sustainable, and safer storage technologies, potentially playing a key role in addressing the challenge of global climate change.
