PLATE 1 Results from numerical simulations of carbon sequestration enhanced natural gas recovery (CSEGR) showing that pressure diffusion is more rapid than molecular diffusion and that up to 30 percent more natural gas could be produced from the Rio Vista Gas Field in California with CSEGR. Source: adapted from Oldenburg et al., 2001.

Below are the first 10 and last 10 pages of uncorrected machine-read text (when available) of this chapter, followed by the top 30 algorithmically extracted key phrases from the chapter as a whole.
Intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text on the opening pages of each chapter. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

Do not use for reproduction, copying, pasting, or reading; exclusively for search engines.

PLATE 7 The upper panel depicts the space-averaged and time-averaged temperature change (°C) with a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration from the preindustrial baseline. The lower panel shows the same result, again for a doubling of CO2 concentration, accompanied by a 1.8-percent reduction in insolation. No significant temperature changes are seen. Sources: Govindasamy and Caldeira, 2000.

PLATE 8 Net primary (plant) productivity of terrestrial land masses, as modeled by IBIS code with slab ocean used in conjunction with the Community Climate Model (CCM3). The upper panel shows Earth with a preindustrial atmospheric CO2 concentration and with 1.8 percent less insolation. The globally aggregated land-plant productivity in the lower panel is nearly twice that of the upper panel, which implies an agricultural crop value difference of about $1 trillion per year in the enriched CO2 case.
