Alabama Project Testing Potential for Combining CO2 Storage with Enhanced Methane Recovery

Green Car Congress

Field testing the potential for combining geologic carbon dioxide storage with enhanced methane recovery is underway at a site in Alabama by a US Department of Energy (DOE) team of regional partners. The SECARB members began injecting CO 2 at the Alabama test site on 15 June 2010. gigatons to 2.3 gigatons to 2.3

Denbury Undertakes Midwest CO2 Pipeline Feasibility Study

Green Car Congress

A third proposed gasification plant with which Denbury has a CO2 purchase contract, was also selected by the loan guarantee program. Denbury plans to commence a pipeline study for this plant proposed to be built along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, which would likely be a 110-mile pipeline that connects to the existing Free State Pipeline.
