AIR AND RADIATION

MEMORANDUM

TO: Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0495

FROM: Michael Kolian

Climate Change Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs

SUBJECT: Documentation for the Summary of Carbon Dioxide Industrial Capture to 

Enhanced Oil Recovery Projects

This document identifies industrial sources (i.e., non-power) that are capturing carbon dioxide 

(CO2) for purposes of supplying to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the United States. CO2

capture from electric generating units (EGUs) is not considered in this memo. Table 1 presents a 

summary of the information found on industrial/EOR carbon capture facilities/projects.

Table 2 below identifies, if found:

1. the name of the capture project, 

2. the capture facility type, 

3. the state where the capture facility is located

4. other capture facility location information,

5. the state where the EOR site is located

6. other EOR site location information,

7. a classification for the project status, and

8. references and resources used.

Project classifications include: O-operational, U-under-construction, A-actively being pursued or 

planned, P=previously considered.
