To explore new pathways of CO2 geological storage, the mechanism of CO2 stored in abandoned coal mine gob was analyzed through the investigation of the gobs exploitation current situation. Methods to calculate the capacity to store CO2 was proposed based on establishing mathematical model. This paper presented suggestions about how to carry out research in the future. Research suggests that after the coal mine is abandoned, there are large underground spaces consisting of rock cavities of gob caving zone, rock fissures of fractured zone, and permanent residual laneways, which CO2 can be stored, and there will be tremendous sequestration potential. Compared with deep aquifers storage, the space has the advantages of larger scale porosity, simpler storage mechanism, easier injection, more abundant geological data, etc. At the same time, the space also remains problems such as lower seal strength and failure of overburden strata easily causing CO2 leaks, etc. This paper suggests that six aspects should be further researched in the future.

<p>The interaction between the shallow and deep groundwater systems is important for a number of issues on water resources and the environment but is difficult to evaluate directly. Here we use two-dimensional numerical simulations to show that the tidal response of deep aquifers may be significantly affected by capillary force on the water table. We propose a criterion to evaluate the capillary effect and apply the model to interpret the tidal response of the Arbuckle aquifer in a USGS deep monitoring well in Oklahoma. Our study suggests that the shallow and deep groundwater systems may interact across thick layers of intervening aquitards and that the analysis of the tidal response of deep aquifers may be an effective means to evaluate such interaction.</p>
