Carbon Sequestration Challenges and Solutions

2:00 Identifying U.S Geologic Basins Appropriate for Large-scale Sequestration of CO2 and Avoiding Potential Pitfalls in Carbon Geostorage

---

• A primer – understanding the different geological storage formation options

− Saline formations
− Depleting/depleted oil and gas fi elds
− Coal seams

• Identifying the appropriate structure and geology (seals) to protect against adverse impacts on the overlying formation or risks to Underground Sources of Drinking Water (USDW) and the surface

− Reservoir architecture
− Pore viability
− Cap rock integrity
− Compatible geochemistry

• Examining the progress to date of the projects funded by the DOE ‘Recovery Act: Site Characterization of Promising Geologic Formations for CO² Storage’
• What novel technologies are being utilized in tight formations?
• Experiences, surprises, and lessons learned thus far from challenged projects

3:00 Networking and Refreshment Break

3:20 Gaining Access to Land and Pore Space – Subsurface Eminent Domain for the Geological Sequestration of CO2

---

• Establishing ownership rights of pore space

− Determining who has the right to use pore space
− Establishing the value of a pore space
− Is the State responsible for ensuring landowners are equitably compensated?

• Examining resolutions to date

4:20 Resolving the Issue of Long Term Liability for Sequestered CO2

---

• Determining liability post closure

− What criteria determine when an injection site is closed and who defi nes that?
− Who should bare the risk and what is an appropriate timeframe for retaining liability?

• Power Company
• Service provider that sequesters the CO²
• Land Owner
• Congress
• The State
• Should an industry trust fund at federal or state government level be established to protect against any post closure leakage or other issues?
• What resolutions and conclusions have been reached at the State level?

− Are they realistic and attainable?
