Monitoring, Verification, and Accounting Plans for Protection of Water Resources During the Geologic Storage of Carbon Dioxide
Geologic storage (GS) is an evolving strategy being investigated for the long-term management of CO2 emissions. A key component of CO2 GS is the presence of cost-effective and efficient CO2 monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA) programs designed to demonstrate that each GS site is performing as anticipated, CO2 is being sequestered, and water resources are being protected. The U.S. Department of Energys (DOEs) Carbon Storage Program is researching, developing, and demonstrating a wide variety of the technologies for GS, including those needed for MVA. This fact sheet, developed by DOEs Water Working Group, focuses on the monitoring aspects of the MVA framework and provides an overview of the monitoring technologies that are being investigated for the protection of water resources.View/Download Document
