The primary aim of carbon capture and storage projects is to prevent carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from entering the atmosphere by securely storing them underground. Traditionally, CO2 is injected into a reservoir capped by an impermeable rock layer, known as caprock, which prevents the gas from escaping. This approach, borrowed from petroleum exploration, has been effective for both oil
