N2 - 1. shale fracturing will create a large volume of pore space enhancing and preserving that pore space by avoiding water would be desirable 2. using CO2 as a fracturing fluid could produce major emissions reductions but learning and optimization will only take place through trial and error 3. shale has a number of favorable characteristics for storage low permeability, high TOC, high pressure 4. the Marcellus shale in PA has significant capacity it could store between 10.4-18.4 Gigatonnes CO2 before 2030 5. technoeconomics of the process for CCS are favorable storage in shales could reduce costs relative to greenfield saline sites by 5-10%.
