First-of-a-Kind Field Test for Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery with Simultaneous CO2 Sequestration

Green Car Congress

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.

IEEE’s Plan To Help Combat Climate Change

Cars That Think

Rahman is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech. You cannot make wind and solar energy useful throughout the day unless you can store it. Our job as engineers is decarbonization, so we need to extract the CO2 released from power plants and hold it somewhere else. It’s as simple as that.
