Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems for reinforcing caprock and enhancing caprock integrity for COgeosequestration. The methods and systems include a reaction between precursor chemicals and COto form mineralization and/or gelation that reinforces the caprock and prevents leakage of geosequestered CO. The precursor chemicals include bifunctional molecules comprising a first functional group for binding to a mineral surface of the caprock and a second functional group for reacting with the CO.
