The Midwestern Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) is implementing an integrated effort to evaluate the potential capacities and implementation issues for carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies in seven midwestern and eastern states within the USA. The Phase II program for the Partnership centers around three field tests of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection and monitoring in deep saline formations. These three field tests are designed to be representative of the varied geologic features of the Region. The findings and experience gained through the small-scale tests can be used to better understand the geologic CO2 storage potential and regulatory, economic, and outreach issues that must be addressed before larger, commercial scale deployment of CCS technologies can take place within the Region.
