**8. Conclusions**

A detailed overview on the published IFT and CA (experimental and molecular simulation) data relevant to CO<sup>2</sup> sequestration is presented. Overall, the IFT trends reported by various research groups are found to be in good agreement, but there exists significant scatter in the reported CA data. Potential reasons for the disagreements in CA data are discussed, and recommendations are made for future research to obtain reproducible CA data.
