CO2 Capture and Storage Technology
• CCS is a four-step process
—Pure stream of CO2 captured from flue gas or other process stream
—Compressed to ~100 bars—Transported to injection site— Injected deep underground into geological formation and
stored safely for thousands of years

CCS Costs
• Power generation from coal—Additional $35 - 45/ MWh
—$50 – 60/tonne CO2 avoided
• Power generation from natural gas—Additional $30/MWh
—$80/tonne CO2 avoided
• Industrial processes producing pure CO2 stream
— $20 – 30/tonne CO2 avoided
• EOR credit can offset ~$20/tonne

Prospective Saline Formation Storage Broadly Distributed
From Bradshaw and Dance 2005
“It is likely that the technical potential for geological storage is sufficient to cover the high end of the economic potential range (2200 GtCO2), but for specific regions, this may not be true.” IPCC, 2005

International Consensus on Geologic Storage Issues Provided
by IPCC Report
“ With appropriate site selection informed by available subsurface information, a monitoring program to detect problems, a regulatory system, and the appropriate use of remediation methods to stop or control CO2 releases if they arise, the local health, safety, and environment risks of geological storage would be comparable to risks of current activities such as natural gas storage, EOR, and deep underground disposal of acid gas.” IPCC, 2005

Why Monitor?
• Confirm storage efficiency and processes• Ensure effective injection controls• Detect plume location and leakage from storage
formation• Ensure worker and public safety• Design and evaluate remediation efforts• Detect and quantify surface leakage• Provide assurance and accounting for monetary
transactions• Settle legal disputes
