US funding research into seismic impact on carbon storage
The US Energy Department said May 28 it was backing four research projects meant to examine the risk that seismic events pose to carbon storage technology.
The $4mn in funding would support research into limiting the risk of potential leaks of CO
2 from underground storage facilities during natural seismic events.
“Large scale carbon capture efforts are vital to getting America emissions-free by 2050, and how we store this CO
2 must be safe, secure and permanent,” energy secretary Jennifer Granholm said. “The R&D investments in new tools and technology to monitor underground activity near CO
A group of nine environmental organizations sent a letter to the Department of Energy s secretary requesting the initiation of a multi-agency environmental impact statement looking at Enchant Energy’s proposal to retrofit the San Juan Generating Station with carbon capture technology.
If an EIS is required, it would delay the project substantially, but the environmental advocates point out that similar projects have gone through the process.
The carbon capture retrofit will prevent the loss of tax revenue in San Juan County and preserve jobs at the coal mine and power plant. However, critics say it is an expensive project and it is unclear who will buy the electricity if it is successful.
