6. NETL Carbon Sequestration Program goals
To accomplish widespread CCS deployment, four program goals have
been established:
(1)Develop technologies that can separate, capture, transport, and store
CO2 using either direct or indirect systems that result in a less than 10
percent increase in the cost of energy by 2015;
(2)Develop technologies that will support industries’ ability to predict CO2
storage capacity in geologic formations to within ±30 percent by 2015;
(3)Develop technologies to demonstrate that 99 percent of injected CO2
remains in the injection zones by 2015;
(4)Complete Best Practices Manuals (BPMs) for site selection,
characterization, site operations, and closure practices by 2020.

OPPORTUNITIES
SUPPORTED BY:
Oil Fields
6000+ fields evaluated.
Fields in the Williston, Powder River,
Denver–Julesberg, and Alberta
Basins were evaluated.
Great Potential in Both Oilfield and
Saline Formations
• Enormous carbon dioxide (CO2) storage
potential in the best oil fields alone!
• In the top 160 fields, over 3 Bbbl of
incremental recovery potential.
• With the potential to incidentally store over
1 Bt of CO2.
• Multiple saline formations in the Alberta,
Williston, Powder River, and Denver–
Julesberg Basins.

10. Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP)
• Competitive bids by strong regional research and development
collaborations made up of universities, industry, national
laboratories, state agencies.
• Three phases to provide:
• Characterization – assessment of regional sources and
storage sites
• Validation – small scale projects to test storage formations
with high potential
• Development – large-scale injection tests (>1 million tons).
• Long-term funding over 10 years starting 2003, expected to
continue to 2020.

11. NATCARB
• The National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information
System (NATCARB) is a geographic information system (GIS)-based tool
developed to provide a view of carbon capture and storage (CCS) potential.
• Interactive, public web access
• Data and tools include:
• CO2 stationary sources
• Potential geologic CO2 storage formations
• Infrastructure
• Analytical tools (pipeline measurement, storage resource estimation,
cost estimation, etc.) required for addressing CCS deployment
• Distributed computing solutions link the RCSPs and other publically
accessible repositories of CCS-relevant data .

14. Key goals of large-scale projects
• Demonstrate adequate injectivity and available capacity at near-commercial scale by
injecting CO2 over an extended period of time.
• Verify storage permanence by validating that CO2 will be contained in the target
formations; develop technologies and protocols to quantify potential releases and that the
projects do not adversely impact underground sources of drinking water (USDWs) or
cause CO2 to be released to the atmosphere.
• Determine the areal extent of the CO2 plume and potential release pathways by
monitoring the areal extent and vertical migration of the CO2 during and after project
completion and develop methodologies to determine the presence of release pathways
such that the proposed mitigation strategy can sustain a near-zero release.
• Develop risk assessment strategies by identifying risk parameters, probability and
potential impact of occurrence, and mitigation strategies.
• Engage in public outreach and education about CCS.
• Develop information that supports the development of an effective regulatory and legal
framework for the safe, long-term injection and geologic CO2 storage in the regions that
the projects are developed.
