Regional Characterization Data Collection

• Terrestrial data includes land use, land cover,
  hydrology, soil maps, crop yields, land
  ownership, etc.
• Winrock will lead collection working with
  Washington State Dept. of National Resources,
  Oregon Dept. of Forestry, California Dept. of
  Forestry and Fire Protection and Arizona Dept. of
  Forestry
• Point source data for power plants and major
  industrial sources location, amount, processes
• Nexant will collect industrial source data
• Pacific Corp, TransAlta, Sierra Pacific
  Resources, Salt River Project to provide data
• BP - North Slope source data ConocoPhillips and
  Chevron- Texaco additional source data

7
Regional Characterization Data Collection
(Contd)

• KinderMorgan will lead development of
  transportation data with focus on pipelines,
  including right-of-ways and topography
• Geologic data includes location, depth, formation
  properties, etc.
• Regional survey data collected by California
  Department of Conservation, Nevada Bureau of
  Mines and Geology and other state geologic
  surveys
• Geologic data for pilot scale studies BP for
  North Slope, Aera, Occidental Petroleum for
  Southern California

8
Regional Characterization Data Integration

• Winrock will develop two point terrestrial
  baselines for WA, OR, AZ, and CA
• Complementary effort by Kearney Foundation on
  soil carbon storage in California
• Consolidated GIS-based geologic sequestration
  database to be developed
• Source, transport, and site data
• Cooperative effort with WGA, Utah AGRC, MIT, and
  CA Geologic Survey

Power plants and oil/gas fields in California
9
Technology Deployment Issues

• Develop an action plan to address environmental
  efficacy and regulations focus on strategy for
  pilot projects and larger-scale deployments (CEC
  Lead)
• Life cycle analysis of impact of CO2 capture,
  transport and storage options on other emissions
  (Nexant)
• Compile and assess regulations and permits
  current and future
• Terralog Technologies will coordinate with state
  regulatory agencies and EPA

10
Technology Deployment Issues (Contd)

• LBNL will develop risk assessment framework for
  geologic sequestration
• Builds on previous work by LBNL, CCP, and LLNL
• Develop features, events and processes (FEPs)
• LBNL will lead development of protocols for
  monitoring and verification
• Builds on previous work by LBNL, LLNL, CCP, and
  others
• Modeling to assess techniques, data from Aera,
  ChevronTexaco, Occidental Petroleum

11
Public Outreach

• Create Partnership web site (BKi)
• Use existing channels, e.g. State forestry depts.
• Develop University and K-12 curricula work with
  WGA
• CSUB Geo-technology Training Center
• Cal Poly Center for Teacher Education
• Hold stakeholders meeting
• Advice from NGOs,other stakeholders
• Prepare action plan

12
Identify Terrestrial Sequestration Options and
Opportunities

• Prepare supply curves for major classes of
  regional land use and forest activities
• Evaluate potential pilot projects
• Increasing mass of large trees and dead wood
• Reducing large fires
• Reforesting riparian zones
• Foresting marginal lands
• Changing commercial practices to increase carbon
  stocks
• Winrock will coordinate with Arizona Dept. of
  Forestry, California Dept. of Forestry and Fire
  Protection, Oregon Dept. of Forestry, Washington
  State Dept. of Natural Resources, Pacific Forest

13
Identify Geologic Sequestration Options and
Opportunities

• Perform economic, transportation, geologic
  screening and other analyses on GIS database to
  obtain best geologic options
• Consider about five transport - storage options
  for each source
• E2I/EPRI to lead team
• MIT (scenario analyses on GIS data)
• SFA Pacific (capture economics)
• ARI (EOR, EGR engineering and economics)
• LBNL (geologic screening)
• Coordinate input from utilities, oil companies,
  others

14
Action Plan for Geologic Field Pilot
Demonstrations

• EOR projects are best opportunities, candidates
  are
• Elk Hills (Occidental), Ventura and Huntington
  Beach (Shell/Aera), and Prudhoe Bay (BP)
• Action plan will address
• Technology demonstration
• Monitoring and verification
• Risk assessment
• Regulatory definitions
• Public outreach and education

15
Phase I Projected Deliverables

• Consolidated database of information on carbon
  sequestration, including sources, terrestrial and
  geologic sinks, and infrastructure
• Compilation and assessment of regulations
• Geologic risk assessment framework
• Assessment of impacts on other emissions
• Protocols for monitoring and verification
• Materials for a public outreach program
• Framework for comparison and selection of
  sequestration options, including economics
  (supply curves), capture technology, risk, etc.
• Selection and plans for demonstration projects in
  Phase II

16
Our Commitment to the Team is Consistent with
Explicit USDOE Goals

• Developing regional source/sink information has
  intrinsic value to many organizations
• Developing a robust action plan will position the
  team as effectively as possible for Phase II
  pilots and success
