Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions...Energy with a Smaller Carbon Footprint
Whether for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) or carbon capture and storage, injecting CO2 from human activities into deep geologic formations is a practical way to reduce the carbon footprint of human energy demands. Our regionthe northern Great Plainshas the perfect geology, many CO2 sources, oil-bearing reservoirs, and the technical know-how to make it happen. Thats why this region is a world leader in the development and implementation of EOR and carbon storage projects using CO2 from major industrial sources. Carbon storage projects are as varied as the geology of Earth. Two examples are provided.View/Download Document
