The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, ultimately, contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet. Globally, the transportation sector contributes about 25% of all CO2 emissions. An additional 35% is from natural gas, which emits the least CO2 of any fossil fuel.

DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed. University of Wyoming , Laramie, Wyo. Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity.

DOE Selects 15 Projects Aimed at Secure CO2 Underground Storage

Green Car Congress

Geologic storage is currently focused on five types of formations:(1) depleted oil and gas reservoirs, (2) deep saline formations, (3) unmineable coal seams, (4) oil- and gas-rich organic shales, and (5) basalts. Researchers will investigate the feasibility of geologic CO 2 sequestration in depleted shale gas reservoirs.
