A method for storing CO2 includes identifying a depleted or partially depleted gas, gas condensate or oil reservoir having a plurality of injection wells and a plurality of production wells. The reservoir is then depleted. Once the reservoir is depleted or partially depleted, enhanced oil recovery and/or enhanced gas recovery is then performed on the reservoir where a first quantity of carbon dioxide is injected into the plurality of injection wells to displace the remaining oil and gas. Heat mining is then performed on the reservoir, where the second quantity of carbon dioxide is injected into the reservoir and the first and second quantities of carbon dioxide are subsequently produced to the surface for capture and conversion of geothermal heat of the first and second quantities of carbon dioxide into electricity. A third quantity of carbon dioxide is then injected and stored in the reservoir permanently.
