Injection of CO2 into underground rocks is not a new concept, as the oil and gas industry has been successfully doing this since 1971 for Enhanced Oil Recovery operations or EOR. The difference between EOR and Geologic CO2 Sequestration is that the sequestered CO2 is...
Transporting CO2 via pipeline is not a new concept. For almost 50 years, Enhanced Oil Recovery or EOR operations have source CO2 from both nature sources and industrial waste streams. US companies operate over 5,200 miles of CO2 pipelines across 12 states with an...
We have been treating exhaust gases since the 1840’s. Initially, this treatment targeted smog creating particulates with filtration techniques to improve respiratory health and living conditions. Since then, a variety of technologies have been developed to remove...
Since 1970, the Clean Air Act has mandated reductions in emissions in transportation, industrial and power generation. During this span, large efficiency gains have been made through the reduction of emissions and fuel efficiency advances. As with all improvement...
To better explain the process of Geologic Sequestration as a means of Carbon Capture and Sequestration, or CCS, we have identified 4 stages. A deep understanding of the unique conditions and challenges of each stage is required to properly assess the constraints and...
Executive Summary The capture and storage of CO2 in deep underground rock formations is known as Geologic Carbon Sequestration. Geologic Sequestration is one of the technologies that will help reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere as society continues to use...
