A US Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) team of regional partners has begun injecting CO 2 into a deep lignite coal seam in Burke County, North Dakota, to demonstrate the economic and environmental viability of geologic CO 2 storage in the US Great Plains region.

In North America, an electric car charged on even the dirtiest, most coal-intensive electric grid in the nation. It's a very reasonable question: electric cars themselves have no tailpipe emissions, but what about the power plants used to recharge them?

If an EV is charged with electricity that is produced by burning fossil fuel such as coal or natural gas, there are still greenhouse gas emissions associated with running the vehicle. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based agency, has pre-vetted and pre-negotiated competitive pricing for electric vehicle charging stations and services.

The Northern Midwest has a combination of a coal-heavy electricity grid, rural counties (with an assumed highway driving cycle), and cold weather that all contribute to higher relative emissions for the BEV. All vehicles have higher emissions in Minnesota, a colder state, compared to California.

That would pave the way for eventual scale-up to capturing CO 2 from natural gas plants, which produce emissions containing about 5% CO 2 , to the higher concentrations of coal-fired power plants. The researchers are also hoping to develop something that might be tested in a submarine. We got lucky.

The results showed that the states of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin had the highest net loss of carbon from residue removal because they have cooler temperatures and more carbon in the soil. —Liska et al.
