  • Experience from Geologic CO2 Storage Field Projects Supported by DOE's Sequestration Program Background
    Experience from Geologic CO2 Storage Field Projects Supported by DOE’s Sequestration Program Background: The U.S. DOE’s Sequestration Program began with a small appropriation of $1M in 1997 and has grown to be the largest most comprehensive CCS R&D program in the world. The U.S. DOE’s sequestration program has supported a number of projects implementing CO2 injection in the United States and other countries including, Canada, Algeria, Norway, Australia, and Germany. The program has also been supporting a number of complementary R&D projects investigating the science of storage, simulation, risk assessment, and monitoring the fate of the injected CO2 in the subsurface. The program supports a number of field activities in the United States which would be considered small scale <1,000,000 tons of CO2 injected during the life of the projects (typically 1-4 years). Environmental Assessments have been prepared one of the first small scale injection projects and large scale injection projects injecting more than 1,000,000 tons of CO2. Most of the small scale projects underwent NEPA review and were granted categorical exclusions (CX). All of these projects were required to receive and operate their facilities according to the U.S. EPA’s Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit requirements to protect underground sources of drinking water (USDW). In addition, several of the projects located on state lands in the western United States received a CX only after satisfying the state agencies’ requirements to perform historical studies or biological impact assessments before being granted approval to perform surface operations. Much of the information on these other projects is located in the 2010 Sequestration Project Portfolio.

Burke PALAEOBIOLOGY DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL HISTORY, ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM, TORONTO, ON, CANADA M5S 2C6 Number 41 May 2009 www.conodont.net Webmaster Mark Purnell, University of Leicester 2 Chief Panderer’s Remarks May 1, 2009 Dear Colleagues: It is again spring in southern Canada, that very positive time of year that allows us to forget our winter hibernation & the climatic hardships endured. It is also the time when Joan Burke and I get to harvest and see the results of our winter labours, as we integrate all the information & contributions sent in by you (Thank You) into a new and hopefully ever better Newsletter. Through the hard work of editor Jeffrey Over, Paleontographica Americana, vol. no. 62, has just been published to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Pander Society and the 150th Anniversary of the first conodont paper by Christian Pander in 1856; the titles and abstracts are here reproduced courtesy of the Paleontological Research Institution in Ithica, N.Y. Glen Merrill and others represented the Pander Society at a conference entitled “Geologic Problem Solving with Microfossils”, sponsored by NAMS, the North American Micropaleontology Section of SEPM, in Houston, Texas, March 15-18, 2009; the titles of papers that dealt with or mentioned conodonts, are included in this Newsletter. Although there have been no official Pander Society meetings since newsletter # 40, a year ago, there were undoubtedly many unofficial ones; many of these would have been helped by suitable refreshments, the latter likely being the reason I didn’t get to hear about the meetings.
