Changes in the chemistry of groundwater reacted with CO2: Comparison of results from laboratory experiments and the ZERT field site, Bozeman, Montana, USA

The Zero Emission Research and Technology (ZERT) field experiment at Bozeman, Montana, USA, was a multi-disciplinary field pilot designed to evaluate near-surface CO2 transport and monitoring technologies applicable to its potential leakage from deep storage reservoirs. As part of this program, sediment cores from two wells at the site were reacted with a solution having the approximate composition of groundwater from the site. A total of 50...
