The Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) has ruled in West Virginia v. Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible “solution to the crisis of the day.” —Opinion in West Virginia v.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has created the Carbon Capture and Storage Simulation Initiative with an investment of up to $40 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. a defensible, science-based methodology and tools that can be used to quantify residual risk and long-term liability at CO 2 storage sites post-closure.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded a cooperative agreement to American Electric Power Service Corporation (AEP) for the Mountaineer Commercial Scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project to design, construct, and operate a system that will capture and store approximately 1.5 million tons per year of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).

And hence, while electric vehicles themselves produce zero carbon emissions, charging them increases the amount of electricity generated from fossil fuel energy sources such as coal. OK, well if you drive an EV in West Virginia it is true, as that state produces roughly 94% of its electricity from coal power plants.

The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP), led by Battelle, has completed its Phase II projects to evaluate storage of carbon dioxide in its nine-state region. The Phase II work helped identify both the opportunities and challenges for carbon sequestration and provided direction for future efforts.

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

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released a new report, State-Level Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000-2010. The report shows a significant variation of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions across states on both an absolute and a per capita basis. Source: EIA. Click to enlarge. million tonnes).
