DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity. Optimized rock-fluid models will incorporate the seismic signatures of (1) saturation scales and free versus dissolved gas in a CO 2 -water mixture, (2) pore pressure changes, and (3) CO 2 -induced chemical changes to the host rock. The projects’ total value is approximately $35.8
