In addition to evaluating the lignite seam’s CO2 storage potential, the enhancement to coalbed methane extraction will also be evaluated. The long-term storage of CO2 by injection in underground geologic reservoirs is expected to play a major role in addressing climate change concerns. In collaboration with Eagle Operating Inc.,

Injection of CO 2 began in a first-of-a-kind US Department of Energy–sponsored field trial of enhanced coalbed methane recovery with simultaneous CO2 sequestration in an unmineable coal seam. The field test is incorporating numerous site characterization and monitoring activities to ensure the safety and efficacy of CO2 injection.

Montana State University , Bozeman, Mont. The project team will determine whether fewer points in a surface seismic array, collected more frequently, along with new and existing software will allow them to develop a more accurate CO 2 reservoir modeling package. DOE share: $2,000,000; recipient share: $500,175; duration: 24 months).
