Large-scale CO2 injection test begins in Illinois

Green Car Congress

MGSC is investigating options for the 60,000 square mile Illinois Basin, which underlies most of Illinois, southwestern Indiana, and western Kentucky. Emissions in this area exceed 265 million metric tonnes of CO 2 yearly, mostly attributed to the region’s 126 coal-fired power plants.

Alabama Project Testing Potential for Combining CO2 Storage with Enhanced Methane Recovery

Green Car Congress

The validation phase (2005–2010) generally involves small-scale field tests and includes the Black Warrior Basin CO2 Storage Project. The characterization phase (2003–2005), which defined opportunities for carbon capture and storage, has been completed.
