77% Informative
UK government gives go-ahead to store 100 MILLION tonnes of CO2 under the North Sea .
But experts raise fears the greenhouse gas could leak and taint water supplies.
Carbon capture and storage is a relatively new technology that prevents this carbon from reaching the atmosphere by permanently sequestering it out of the way.
Experts have raised concerns about the long-term safety of storing carbon deep beneath the sea.
The UK is believed to have room to store a potential 78 gigatonnes of carbon in natural aquifers and depleted oil reservoirs with 78 billion tonnes of storage capacity in the North Sea alone.
Some experts have raised concerns over the long-term safety of CCS .
The biggest risk is that CO2 from underground reservoir escapes through small cracks and begins to leak out into surrounding waters.
