42 Zusammenfassung Die Gefährdung durch die CO 2 Speicherung ist gering verglichen mit Erdgas/Stadtgasspeicherung, oder Kohleabbau (Obertage Untertage) wenn Geeignete Lokationen ausgewählt werden und dabei die Geologie genau bekannt und untersucht ist Die Bohrungen beherrscht und überwacht werden Ein ausgeklügeltes Monitoringkonzept eingesetzt wird

43 Sicherheit zuerst Das Maß der Sicherheit und Beherrschbarkeit hängt dabei ab von Wahl der Speicherlokation Umfang der geologischen Erkundung Qualität der Bohrungen und der Qualität der Abdichtung von Altbohrungen Umfang und Genauigkeit der Überwachung (Monitoring) Teurer muss dabei nicht besser, aber kostenlos ist CO 2 Speicherung und Überwachung nicht realisierbar
