Abstract

The paper presents the potential areas in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) for injecting CO2 into underground geological formations by boreholes. Areas are determined based on the geological structure of Bosnia ana Herzegovina, and development of Miocene formations which are the most prevalent in the northern and northeastern parts of the country, in the central part of country and southwest of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Furthermore paper gives an overview of potentials for injecting CO2 into abandoned coal mines, and abandoned salt mine.
