Injection of CO 2 began in a first-of-a-kind US Department of Energy–sponsored field trial of enhanced coalbed methane recovery with simultaneous CO2 sequestration in an unmineable coal seam. The field test is incorporating numerous site characterization and monitoring activities to ensure the safety and efficacy of CO2 injection.

The site was selected because it is representative of the Central Appalachian Basin, an area of about 10,000 square miles located in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia. billion tons of CO2 in the coal seams while increasing natural gas production up to 2.5 trillion cubic feet.

This initiative will develop: a comprehensive, integrated suite of validated computational models for accelerating CO2 capture technology development and deployment, and. a defensible, science-based methodology and tools that can be used to quantify residual risk and long-term liability at CO 2 storage sites post-closure.

million tons per year of CO2 will begin in 2015, and the demonstration project will end in 2019. The system will employ Alstom Power’s chilled ammonia process (CAP) ( earlier post ) to capture at least 90% of the CO 2 from a 235 megawatt slipstream of the 1,300 MW Mountaineer power plant near New Haven, West Virginia.
