CO 2 Procurement Plan and Agreement (SECARB Phase III Work Product 7.2.1.a)

The Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership’s (SECARB) Anthropogenic Test is a demonstration of the deployment of CO 2 capture, transport, geologic storage and monitoring technologies. The capture component of the test takes place at the James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant in Bucks, Alabama. The capture facility utilizes post-combustion amine capture technology licensed from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America to process flue gas from a coal-fired power unit at Plant Barry. The amount of CO 2 captured using this process is equivalent to the emissions produced when generating 25 megawatts (MW) of electricity. CO 2 captured at the plant is transported by pipeline for underground storage in a saline geologic formation within the Citronelle Dome. This project is one of the first and the largest fully-integrated commercial prototype coal-fired carbon capture and storage projects in the US. This report will highlight the essential pieces necessary to bring CO 2 from the capture facility at Plant Barry to the Anthropogenic Test Site. They are: 1) the capture facility, 2) the pipeline and 3) the well site injection equipment.

Site Design and Layout In Preparation for the Anthropogenic Test (SECARB Work Product 6.2.1.b)

Commercial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology deployment for the electrical utility industry will require a robust international R&D program with governmental support both in cost-share and in risk management. In an effort to comply with environmental legislation or regulation related to CO 2 , the electrical utility industry hopes to be in a position to make financial decisions on utility boiler sourced CCS technology and associated risk management by 2020.

SECARB Phase III Anthropogenic Test Site Implementation Plan

As part of the Southeastern Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership’s (SECARB) Phase III initiative, a test site and anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) source have been selected for a large-scale demonstration of CO 2 separation, capture and sequestration in southwestern Alabama. The project, referred to as the Anthropogenic Test, represents a major step toward demonstrating the viability of integrating carbon capture and storage to mitigate climate change. The CO 2 storage project will inject CO 2 captured from Alabama Power's1 Plant Barry, equivalent to emissions from 25 megawatts of generating capacity. The CO 2 will be captured at the plant, transported via a short pipeline to Citronelle oilfield, and injected into brinesaturated Paluxy Formation sandstones at depths of approximately 9,400 to 10,500 ft. The Citronelle field is a working and actively maintained oilfield and provides the project team with a wealth of geophysical information as well as a pre-existing infrastructure to the project. However, completion practices employed in the field eliminates the use of a pre-existing well as the project’s primary injection well. This report outlines the major components of field operational activity and corresponding planning development for safe and reliable project performance: - Existing Infrastructure and Surface Facilities Construction; - Well Construction and Operations; - CO2 Injection; - Area of Review; - Monitoring, Verification and Accounting; - Project Closure.

CO 2 Sequestration Assessment of the basal sandstone in Tennessee (SECARB Phase III Work Product 1.6.a)

Geologic carbon sequestration is the permanent storage of CO 2 in deep underground geologic formations, which is preceded by the separation and capture of CO 2 at the point of emissions from a stationary source such as a coal-fired electric power plant. The United States Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Fossil Energy National Energy Technological Laboratory (NETL) is engaged in research and development of Carbon Sequestration Program technology. This report assesses potential geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) storage capacity of the basal sandstone in Tennessee. The Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership evaluated the Basal Sandstone in Tennessee for potential to store commercial quantities of CO 2 . This report expands upon the findings from the 2007 assessment of potential CO 2 storage reservoirs in the southeast United States, which included an initial assessment of the basal sandstone capacity. These estimates are based on limited and generalized data sets, which are primarily from published literature. In the 2007 report, the depth range for the basal sandstone was found to be 4,000 to 8,000 feet (ft) and the average thickness was 100 ft. The capacity estimate for the basal sandstone from the 2007 report was 2.5 gigatons (Gt) (metric) of CO 2 . Recognized the need for a more accurate estimate of capacity for the geologic sinks. This report provides a site specific, detailed geologic investigation of the basal sandstone. In this report the CO 2 storage capacity of the basal sandstone in Tennessee is assessed using an average reservoir total porosity, gross formation thickness, and average storage reservoir depth and pressure. The methodology is based on the capacity assessment methodology for saline aquifers in the United States Department of Energy 2010 Carbon Sequestration Atlas of the United States and Canada. Storage capacities are summarized in Table ES-1.
