Popis: Possibility of CO 2 geological sequestration was studied in the Osaka Bay, one of major CO 2 emission sources in Japan. Based upon the facies distribution in thick formations of the Osaka Group, a geological model of CO 2 sequestration was constructed and the aquifer structure and the storage effective of a possible storage aquifer were evaluated. It was made clear that the preliminary storage capacity in the Osaka Bay would be sufficient to store emitted CO 2 in the area.
