CCS world projects: Appalachian
Project OverviewThe Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) is conducting several field demonstrations in its Midwestern region to help assess the effectiveness of storing carbon dioxide deep underground. FirstEnergy, a member of the MRCSP, has volunteered its R.E. Burger Plant in Shadyside, Ohio, as one of the field demonstration locations. The demonstration involves injection into one or more deep saline reservoirs in the area including targets such as the Oriskany, Clinton, and Rose Run Sandstone. These reservoirs are located 1.2-2.1km below the surface. As is the case in all of our deep saline injection tests, these reservoirs are located well below drinking water supplies, which are about 30 meters deep in this part of the Appalachian Basin. Initial plans call for injecting about 3,000 tonnes of CO2 at the site over a period of several months.
