Review of Source Attributes Plains CO2 Reduction (PCOR) Partnership Phase III Deliverable D1
Because of the high cost associated with pipeline construction and other infrastructure considerations, having accurate location information is essential for conducting CO2 sinksource matching scenarios that incorporate transportation routing estimates. If sources of interest plot on the opposite sides of rivers or cities or are wrongly situated beyond a threshold distance from prospective enhanced oil recovery operations, sinksource scenario modeling may omit valid possibilities. As part of an effort to periodically review and update the attribute data for existing stationary CO2 sources in the PCOR Partnership region, research personnel at the Energy & Environmental Research Center have recently completed a source location verification investigation. The objective of this task was to verify the reported latitude/longitude location of each CO2 source in the current PCOR Partnership database. The original location information was obtained from federal, state, and provincial sources (e.g., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Canada).View/Download Document
