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.

For feedstock application, carbon stored in products such as plastics are not included in reported emissions for the states where they are produced. The report presents a basic analysis of the factors that contribute to a state’s carbon dioxide profile. The 2010 US average is 430 mt CO 2 / million dollars of GDP.

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.
