    Abstract: Climate change is a major problem that the world is facing today and this problem can be attributed
to the excessive burning of carbon into the atmosphere. Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technique
has been proven to proffer solution to this problem. CCS is the process of capturing CO<sub>2</sub> emission from power
plant, compressed, transport and storage in geological formation for a significant period of time. Carbon dioxide
can remain trapped underground by a number of mechanisms such as structural trapping in which CO<sub>2</sub> is
trapped beneath the confining layer (caprock); retention as an immobile phase trapped in the pore spaces of the
storage formation; dissolution in the in-situ formation fluids and adsorption onto organic matter in coal and
shale. Additionally, it may be trapped by reacting with the minerals in the storage formation and caprock to
produce carbonate minerals. Also, the criterial for site selection during geological carbon sequestration were
discussed. Moreover, the CO<sub>2</sub> monitoring techniques and simulators for modelling CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration were also
explained.
