Project differences• Tomakomai• Onshore to offshore storage• CO2 from hydrogen production• Capture with amine process• 300,110.3 tonnes stored• Directional wells into targetformations• Injection into 2 formations• Injection depth ~1,000 m(Moebetsu Fm) and ~2,400 m(Takinoue FM)• Illinois Basin – Decatur Project• Onshore storage• CO2 from ethanol production• Capture direct offtake fromethanol• 999,217 tonnes stored• Straight wells into targetformation• Injection into 1 formation• Injection depth ~2,000 m (Mt.
Simon Sandstone)Project similarities• Public/private partnership• Operated 3 years• CO2 stored in sandstone• Caprock directly overlies injection reservoir• Extensive public engagement• Extensive monitoring programs• Monitoring before, during, and after injection
