Development Phase Field Projects DOE supports large-scale field projects in differen t geological storage classes to confirm that CO 2capture, transportation, injection, and storage can be achie ved safely, permanently, and economically at large scales. Results from these projects will provide a more thorough understanding of migration and perman ent storage of CO 2 within various reservoir classes of geologic stora ge formations, which will help support regulatory development and industry in commercializ ation and deployment of CCS. The storage types and formations being tested are considered regionally s ignificant and are expected to have the potential t o store hundreds of years of CO 2 from stationary source emissions. As of November 2 014, over 7.2 million metric tons of CO 2have been stored in various geologic formations vi a the large-scale field projects being developed by the RCSPs.

7/26/2015 http://www.netl.doe.gov/research/coal/carbon - storage/carbon - storage - infrastructure/region ...Development Phase projects will result in a better understanding of technical and non-technical aspect s for commercial-scale CCS projects, including regulatory , liability, and ownership issues associated with t hese projects, and will provide a firm foundation for co mmercialization of large-scale CCS. In addition, th ese efforts have contributed to establishing common ass umptions, data requirements, and methodologies for determining geologic resource estimates for CO 2 storage. Resulting resource estimates are presente d in Atlas IV . The data provided by the RCSPs are included in th e National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB) , a relational database and geographic information system (GIS) that integrates CCS data from the RCSPs and other s ources. In addition, these collaborations provide a means t o encourage the transfer of technical lessons learn ed between industry and academia to facilitate the ado ption of these technologies in the field. They will also prepare personnel in the United States and abroad for future careers in the CCS industry.
