DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity. In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Globally, the transportation sector contributes about 25% of all CO2 emissions. Sounds simple, but it’s more complicated than just replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs). An additional 35% is from natural gas, which emits the least CO2 of any fossil fuel. But again, location matters.

DOE Selects 15 Projects Aimed at Secure CO2 Underground Storage

Green Car Congress

Geologic storage is currently focused on five types of formations:(1) depleted oil and gas reservoirs, (2) deep saline formations, (3) unmineable coal seams, (4) oil- and gas-rich organic shales, and (5) basalts. The effects of complex structures such as faults and fractures will be completed.
