DOE Regional Partner Initiates Coal Seam CO2 Injection and Methane Recovery Study in Virginia

Green Car Congress

A US Department of Energy (DOE) team of regional partners has begun injecting carbon dioxide into coal seams in the Central Appalachian Basin to determine the feasibility of CO 2 storage in unmineable coal seams and the potential for enhanced coalbed methane recovery. This area has been assessed by researchers to have the capacity to store 1.3

DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 19 projects to enhance the capability to simulate, track, and evaluate the potential risks of carbon dioxide storage in geologic formations. Researchers will develop systems for tagging CO 2 with carbon-14 at atmospheric level (1 part per trillion) and measuring the carbon-14 CO 2 levels.
