Abstract: Deep saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs are prime candidates for CO2 storage, but feasibility assessments remain limited in regions with little oil and gas activity, such as the Lower Mainland of British Columbia (LMBC), Canada. This study evaluates the CO2 storage potential of the Georgia Basin strata beneath the LMBC, focusing on three intervals (Nanaimo Group, Huntingdon Formation, and Boundary Bay Formation) in Western, Central, and Eastern LMBC. Eastern LMBC holds limited potential for CO2 storage due to both the shallow depth of strata in that region and the high geological uncertainty resulting from limited subsurface data. The Upper Cretaceous Nanaimo Group across the entire LMBC is unsuitable for CO2 injection because it has very poor reservoir quality (generally
