What is co2 breakthrough?

CO₂ breakthrough pressure increases with sediment specific surface in mudrocks up to a limit ∼6.2 MPa. • CO₂ relative permeability is less than 0.2 after breakthrough in the absence of fractures. • We propose a sealing number and a stability number to pre-screen CO₂ storage sites.

Can carbon dioxide be converted to oxygen?

Splitting carbon dioxide (CO₂) into carbon and oxygen can in fact be accomplished, but there is a catch: doing so requires energy. If hydrocarbon fuels, which produce the greenhouse gas in the first place, supply that energy, thermodynamics tells us that the net result will be more CO₂ than you started with.
