**7. Future horizons of CO2-EOR and sequestration**

The potential effect of CO2-EOR is not so much a matter of whether but of when. The science of the process is known to the experts, and there are plenty of CO2 emitters from different sources available and many oil reservoirs to host these CO2 from these emitters. The key point is the economic decision that depends primarily on several factors. Oil price, capital cost of infrastructures, tax policies on CO2 emission, cost of CO2 capture from CO2 emitters, and the speed of technology developments are the key parameters for economic decisions. These parameters could be hard to predict; however, developing a platform to facilitate the decisionmaking could speed up CO2-EOR and sequestration significantly.
