Two Non-Integrated One Million TPY CO2
Sequestration Projects

• Weyburn CO2 Project
• Pan Canadian Resources
• 200-mile CO2 pipeline from Dakota Gasification
  Plant
• Enhanced oil recovery in Canada over 20 years

• Sleipner North Sea Project
• Statoil
• CO2 sequestered (1996-2000)
• Currently monitoring CO2 migration
• Separates CO2 from natural gas
• 3650 / ton CO2 tax

The Future

• DOE has strong commitment to
• Near-zero emissions coal-based plants
• Hydrogen production from coal
• Capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide

• To accomplish, will need
• Well qualified engineers and scientists to
• Develop cost efficient process for improved
  gasification, separations, carbon capture
• Implement sequestration programs
• Develop, test, and operate new hydrogen-based
  power generation, fuel cells and combustion
  engines to operate on hydrogen for vehicles
• Design, build, and operate new facilities
