The Kansas Geological Survey based at the University of Kansas has received a nearly $5 million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE) to study the feasibility of storing carbon dioxide underground. Kansas Geological Survey geologists Lynn Watney and Saibal Bhattacharya are leading the investigation. Lynn Watney.

million the US Department of Energy recently awarded to carbon capture and storage research projects, $5.9 Source: Kansas Geological Survey. It is clear, that without displacement of a carbon intensive energy source, CO 2 -EOR systems will result in net carbon emissions. Of the $21.6 million was for EOR projects.

Schematic illustrating feedback pathways coupling terrestrial carbon and nitrogen cycles in the integrated model. Blue arrows show, in general, the processes represented in previous carbon-only land model components. The balance of these two opposing effects is to reduce the fraction of anthropogenic CO 2.

A study by the University of Kansas Center for Research funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) has established the feasibility of using near-miscible CO 2 injection for recovering between 250 million and 500 million additional barrels of oil from Kansas oilfields. The Arbuckle Formation has produced 36% (2.2

The US Department of Energy has selected 15 projects to develop technologies aimed at safely and economically storing carbon dioxide in geologic formations. Columbia University researchers will test and evaluate carbon-14 as a reactive tracer to assess CO 2 transport in a basaltic storage reservoir. Funded with $21.3 Lawrence, Kan.)
