Geologic Carbon Storage (GCS) has emerged as a promising technology to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and the world’s awaited savior to achieve net-zero carbon ambitions. GCS involves capturing CO2 emissions from industrial sources and sequestering them deep underground in geological formations. While GCS offers promising potential it faces significant challenges. This seminar attempts to offer a balanced evaluation of GCS, addressing historical context, state-of-the-art, business opportunities, and related persisting challenges in feasibility, scalability,  safety, affordability, and public perception.
