DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity. 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. The approach is designed to be applicable to other CO 2 injection sites.
