DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

PEM is commercializing a carbon-14 field-ready analyzer with a sensitivity of approximately 1 part per million of fossil fuel-produced CO 2 in ambient air. Coal storage factors such as coal failure and permeability enhancement, matrix swelling and shrinking, and competition of water as adsorbed phase on coals will be addressed.
