This document discusses the goals and activities of the US Department of Energy's Office of Clean Coal, including its vision of enabling the environmentally-sound use of coal and fossil fuels through research into carbon capture and storage technologies. It outlines four goals: demonstrating near-zero emission fossil technologies; gaining public and regulatory acceptance of CO2 storage; conducting high-risk R&D on advanced coal technologies; and driving international collaboration on CCS. It also provides an overview of the office's major CCS demonstration projects currently underway or planned, which involve capturing and storing millions of tons of CO2 annually through techniques like pre- and post-combustion capture at coal power plants and industrial facilities.

Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships
Developing the Infrastructure for Wide Scale Deployment
Seven Regional Partnerships
400+ distinct organizations, 43 states, 4 Canadian Provinces
• Engage regional, state, and local governments
• Determine regional sequestration benefits
• Baseline region for sources and sinks
• Establish monitoring and verification protocols
• Address regulatory, environmental, and outreach issues
• Validate sequestration technology and infrastructure
Development Phase (2008-2018+)
9 large scale
injections (over 1
million tons each)
Commercial scale
understanding
Regulatory, liability,
ownership issues
Validation Phase (2005-2011)
20 injection tests in saline formations, depleted oil, unmineable
coal seams, and basalt
Characterization Phase (2003-2005)
Search of potential storage
locations and CO2 sources
Found potential for 100’s of
years of storage

Large-Scale CO2 Storage Tests
• 8 large scale tests ongoing/planned for 6 of 7 Regional Partnerships
• Tests based on strong core R&D program and 20 smaller field tests.
• Injection schedule: 3 currently injecting, 3 starting 2013, 2 during
2014-2015
• Storage: 5 EOR, 3 saline formations
• 7 of the 8 will inject between 1 – 2.9 million tonnes CO2
• CO2 sources: NG processing plants, coal power plants, ethanol
production plant, natural CO2 source
• All tests have extensive MVA
• Results will inform Best Practice Manuals
