CO2 Sequestration Test Marks Coal Seam Breakthrough
The test injects 1000 tons of CO2 into a Russell County coal seam to prove unmineable seams can store emissions. Rep. Rick Boucher says coal seams near power plants offer large sequestration capacity and potential economic benefits including 650 billion cubic feet of extra natural gas and $3.9 billion in value from enhanced methane. The outcome may shape future CO2 controls and regional energy strategies.
