Study Reveals CO2 can be a Better Fracking Fluid than Water

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China University of Petroleum (Beijing) have reported that CO2 could be a better hydraulic fracturing (fracking) fluid compared to water. Their study, reported on May 30th, 2019, in Joule, could lead to a more environment-friendly form of fracking that can facilitate a dual method of capturing and storing atmospheric CO2.
