This IPCC Special Report describes sources, capture, transport, and storage of CO2. It discusses the costs, economic potential, and societal issues of the technology, including public perception and regulatory aspects. Storage options evaluated include geological storage, ocean storage, and mineral carbonation. The report places CO2 capture and storage in the context of other climate change mitigation options. The volume includes a Summary for Policymakers approved by governments represented in the IPCC, and a Technical Summary. It provides invaluable information for researchers in environmental science, geology, engineering and the oil and gas sector, policy-makers in governments and environmental organizations, and scientists and engineers in industry.

For anyone struggling to come to grips with the technology and breadth of potential CO2 sequestration issues - don't give up, help is at hand! But you still will have a lot of mental exercise to put in before all of it can formulate into a clear if not concise picture. This is the book for you if you want/need/cant survive without too much technical detail and even that isnt enough!
A good insight into the potential world of technology that is available or could be in the next 30 years+ if only the world agrees and we all join an international carbon trading scheme. But like to good old days of the early 20th century when nations used different currency backing and trading schemes, and nothing worked until necessity made us agree, so will it be until we all agree on a binding and universal emissions/carbon trading approach. Once that is in place the geosequestration issues should be become a widespread feature of technology in transition.
This is the book which will reveal the various technology options that are available in such a world. A good textbook but in some cases the detail is overwhelming.
Good and detailed but possibly overwhelming for the beginner. Good for postgraduate students and professionals.
My only regret after reading much of the sections I have an interest in, is that I am none the wiser what sort of trading scheme will have universal appeal. Not much help on that issue here but a lot of good stuff largely from petroleum and coal industry technology.
Essential reading and reference work. This book will help even the 'hinderers'. The most favourable effect on me is the underlying theme that CO2 is a commodity, not just a 'waste' product. It should thus have a value and a market price - sequestration will help by also providing the opportunity for storage (and possible reuse in some cases). A very sobering work.

A very detailed analysis of the technology required for sequestration. A total emphasis on the technology and economics, without any political comment. Demonstrates through analysis of the technology and where the technology has been used e.g. CO2 EOR in oil recovery that sequestration for coal power stations is technically possible without huge costs.
