Funds injected into carbon sequestration effort
The Laboratory has received $3 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act dollars to capture and transport 1 million tons of carbon dioxide from Bay Area power plants and inject it more than two miles underground.Laboratory researchers will collaborate with Lawrence Berkeley and C6 Resources, a Shell Oil Company affiliate, on the carbon sequestration project.The…
Underground testing for carbon sequestration
Who would be willing to pay a higher energy bill to help save the planet? Roger Aines would. And he’s doing his part to lend a hand to the planet by spearheading a Laboratory effort that looks at sequestering carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) — produced by coal or natural gas power plants — in geological formations in Montana and Wyoming. Aines’ project is part of Phase III of the…
