Experimental measurements of CO solubility in water and in NaCl(aq) solutions are reported at temperatures, pressures and salt molalities of relevance to geological carbon storage: (323.15 to 423.15) K, (2 to 28) MPa and (2 and 4) mol·kg−1, respectively. The expanded relative uncertainty of the CO solubility is estimated to be 4.4% at 95% confidence intervals. This study provides the first data for CO solubility in brine with high molality of salt. The results from this study were used to develop simple models for the solubility of CO in aqueous NaCl solutions as a function of temperature, pressure and salt molality dependent, up to 4 mol·kg−1.
