Abstract
The present disclosure is directed toward a method for storing carbon dioxide. The method for storing carbon dioxide comprises several steps. A dissolving fluid comprising water is injected into a salt formation to produce a brine and a salt cavern within the salt formation. The brine is then removed from the salt cavern. A sorbent is then placed within the salt cavern before carbon dioxide is injected into the salt cavern.
