Provided are a heating value derivation device and a heating value derivation method that are capable of achieving cost reduction. A gas meter (heating value derivation device, 110) includes a sound velocity derivation unit (160) configured to derive a sound velocity of a gas flowing through a gas flow path, a heating value derivation unit (164) configured to refer to correspondence relationship information that enables a heating value per unit volume to be uniquely derived from the sound velocity of the gas, to thereby derive the heating value per unit volume of the gas, which is independent of a type of the gas, based on the sound velocity derived by the sound velocity derivation unit (160), and a flow rate derivation unit (162) configured to derive a flow rate of the gas that has passed through the gas flow path. Thus, a passage heating value of the gas can be derived.

A filter (13) is provided at a tip portion of an injection well (9). A pumping apparatus (5) pumps carbon dioxide stored in a carbon dioxide tank (3). The pumping apparatus (5) feeds carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide tank (3) into the injection well (9) by means of a pump. In the pumping apparatus, the pressure and temperature of carbon dioxide are maintained at respective predetermined levels or higher by means of a pressure regulation valve, a temperature regulator, etc., whereby carbon dioxide enters a supercritical state. The carbon dioxide having entered a supercritical state is fed in the direction of arrow A through the injection well (9), passes through the filter (13) provided at an end portion of the injection well (9), and is injected into a brine aquifer (11). Carbon dioxide injected into the brine aquifer (11) assumes the form of microbubbles.
