DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

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. Such tagging will better quantify CO 2 monitoring and make it possible to accurately inventory geologically stored carbon.
