SUMMARY The assessment for realistic CO 2 ‐adsorption capacities of different rocks is important for understanding the processes associated with CO 2 storage. This paper investigates the adsorption characteristics of rocks for CO 2 (limestone, sandstone, marl, claystone, clay, siltstone and metamorphic rock) by using a gravimetric method. The measurements were performed at 21°C with pressures from 1 up to 4 MPa. Sandstone (and clay with sand/sandstone) showed the largest adsorption capacity at 21°C. The highest amount of in situ CO 2 contents in measured samples was 21.4 kg/t. The CO 2 ‐adsorption capacities were lower than past results in different coal samples. The results indicate that adsorption of CO 2 into rocks may play an important role in storing CO 2 in subsurface rock. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
