Technical Assessment of Geologic Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) Storage: Best Practices Derived from Phase III of the Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership Program, 2007-2018

The Plains CO 2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, led by the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), was formed as part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) Initiative in 2003. The RCSP Program supports deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies—with primary focus on carbon utilization and geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) (hereafter referred to as storage)—as an essential means of reducing the carbon intensity of electricity generation and other CO 2 -emitting industrial processes. The PCOR Partnership has a growing membership, which has included over 120 industry, government, and research organizations, and over a decade of experience developing, testing, and validating methods and technologies for conducting CO 2 storage projects. Nine U.S. states and four Canadian provinces comprise the PCOR Partnership region, covering an area of 1.4 million square miles in the northern Great Plains.

SECARB Project Overview Book

In 2003, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) issued awards initiating seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) spanning the United States and portions of Canada. Managed by DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), the RCSPs currently represent more than 400 state agencies, universities, and private companies, spanning 43 states, three Native American Organizations, and four Canadian provinces. The Southern States Energy Board (SSEB) received an award on October 1, 2003, which established the Board’s overall management and administration of the Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership, or SECARB. The geographical region currently includes 13 states and a network of more than 100 stakeholders. The Nation’s leading scientists, university researchers, national laboratories, industrial representatives, environmental organizations, and many others have taken a proactive approach at identifying and characterizing the most promising options for technology deployment and carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization and storage (CCUS) for the Southeast. The results obtained during these injections will be important to the future commercialization of CCUS technologies and the continued use of fossil fuels as a significant energy source in a manner that is environmentally responsible. Each of the six SECARB project locations has been locally coordinated by its own field team. The field teams assume responsibility for the technical scope of work, local education and outreach, permitting, monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA), and maintaining the validation test’s schedule and budget. Each team contributes new information to the continued characterization of the region. In addition, a task is dedicated to integrating field data and filling gaps in regional characterization data sets. Data and tools developed in the Continued Characterization task are incorporated into a relational database and geographic information system (GIS). All field tests, the continued characterization project, and the cross-cutting functions are designed to support the DOE roadmap by validating technologies and identifying locations throughout the region that could support full-scale CCUS deployment opportunities. Detailed fact sheets for the SECARB projects are available on the SECARB website at www.secarbon.org (see “Projects” tab).

Midwestern Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) Phase III (Development Phase) (Final Report)

The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) was founded in 2003 as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (RCSP) Initiative. The public/private consortium, funded through the MRCSP, brings together nearly 40 industry partners in 10 contiguous states in Mid-West and North-East regions. Battelle, as the project lead, oversees research & development, operations, and coordinates activities among various partners. Since its founding, MRCSP has made significant progress towards advancing CCS and CCUS technologies for participating states in the region. Between 2008 to 2020, Phase III of the MRCSP program focused on the development of large-scale injection tests. This report is part of a series of topical reports prepared under the MRCSP Phase III. The MRCSP Final Technical Report summarizes the research conducted while monitoring large-scale injection tests at a CO 2 -EOR facility in Northern Michigan. The project successfully injected more than one million metric tons of CO 2 into depleted oil fields in the Northern Niagaran Pinnacle Reef Trend (NNPRT) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). These commercial-scale tests provided valuable real-world knowledge that has been used to refine technologies and methods, reduce uncertainties, and demonstrate safety and effectiveness of CCUS technologies to increase public acceptance. The Final Technical Report provides an overview of Phase III efforts including advancing the understanding of the regional geology, storage capacities, deployment of many monitoring and modeling techniques and its efficacy, and technical demonstration of large-scale CO 2 injection, containment, and associated storage in the NNPRT region. Specific topical reports on the subjects covered in the Final Technical Report are also available through EDX/OSTI.

Geologic Risk Assessment Activities at SECARB Cranfield, MS Site

Risk Assessment (RA) of RCSP Phase 3 sites is a DOE requirement and valuable to DOE’s program because this process encourage careful consideration of elements that could damage an individual project, or if severe ,damage credibility and public commercial acceptance of the sequestration process. Poor outcomes even from small projects can have negative consequences larger than the cost to the individual project. In addition, practice in risk assessment compared to project evolution is needed as part of the confidence-building toward future large scale, long term industrial activities.

An overview of the Department of Energy's CarbonSAFE Initiative: Moving CCUS toward commercialization

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) Carbon Storage Program helps develop technologies that safely and permanently store carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) without adversely impacting natural resources or hindering economic growth. Since 1997, the program has significantly advanced carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) science and technology, with more than 10.5 million metric tons (MMT) of CO 2 safely stored. However, key gaps in experience and knowledge remain (e.g., the technology, expertise, and processes needed to safely characterize and monitor 50+ MMT-scale geologic CO 2 storage sites). DOE's Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) Initiative (launched in FY16) is beginning to address this gap. The CarbonSAFE Initiative currently consists of 13 projects in Phase I: Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Pre-Feasibility and six projects in Phase II: Storage Complex Feasibility. Here this article includes the latest updates from the CarbonSAFE Initiative.
