The Wyoming Rock Springs Uplift could potentially store 14 to 17 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to results from a Department of Energy-sponsored study. For every 1 million metric tons of CO 2 stored, approximately 250 metric tons of lithium carbonate, with an approximate market value of $1.6

In terms of per capita emissions, the top emitter was Wyoming (118.5 For feedstock application, carbon stored in products such as plastics are not included in reported emissions for the states where they are produced. Topping the list for absolute emissions in 2010 was Texas (652.6 million tonnes CO 2 ); California (369.8

Evaluation-related test drilling at geologic sites in three states that could store a combined 64 million metric tons of CO 2 emissions—an important component of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology development—has been completed in projects supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE).

The seven partnerships form a national network that is investigating the best approaches for capturing and permanently storing CO 2. The results of the PCOR Partnership’s Phase I characterization activities indicated that the region’s low-rank coal seams have the capacity to store up to 8 billion tons of CO 2.

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.

Coring of the Elk Point rock formations at Fort Nelson will provide researchers, geologists, and reservoir experts with characterization data of the carbonate formations that will be used to store the CO 2 and the impermeable shale layers above that will act as a cap rock to contain the CO 2.
