Utilizing salts for carbon capture and storage

This invention describes a method for evaluating a geological area to determine if it's suitable for storing carbon dioxide. It involves creating a map or representation of the region that combines geological information, such as the presence of certain minerals or alkaline conditions, with human-made data, like the location of CO2 sources. The claims focus specifically on this assessment process, not on the actual carbon capture or storage itself.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced geospatial analysis and AI-driven data integration were commonplace. The claims cover a data-intensive assessment process that is now significantly easier and more precise with modern computational tools and increased availability of geological and anthropogenic data for carbon sequestration site selection.
