Mobility control of CO is important for effective subsurface utilization and sequestration of anthropogenic CO in depleted formations. This not only enhances oil recovery but also increases CO storage efficiency, addressing a key challenge for a future zero-carbon economy. In this study, novel techniques were developed by injecting CO foam generated with a nonionic-based binary surfactant system to improve geological CO storage and to co-optimize carbon utilization and storage efficiency in high salinity carbonate porous media, based on hypotheses from our previous works.

DMET protein levels were analyzed concerning alcohol consumption, smoking history, and sex using non-parametric tests, which were further strengthened by correlational analysis. To this end, we used a provisional index of alcohol exposure formulated based on the relative abundances of four marker proteins best correlating with the level of alcohol consumption.
