Project Overview
DTE Energy, a member of the Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) is participating in a field test of a promising technique for storing carbon dioxide in deep underground rock formations in the Michigan Basin. In the field test members of the MRCSP research team will inject a small amount of CO2 into a deep saline formation that is located thousands of feet below freshwater zones and at an intermediate depth between the gas-producing layers and the oil-producing layers. The test is being designed to increase our understanding of storage technologies in a real-world setting. Although the test is very small in scale, it holds great promise as an important step in building our knowledge and helping future generations to address global warming. It is currently estimated that the formations may have the capacity to store hundreds of years’ worth of current emissions from large point sources of CO2 in the state.
