Technical Status
• A high-level technical evaluation of potential
  storage sites in the East sub-basin in Illinois is in
  progress.
• Evaluation includes subsurface characterization
  within the storage complex, risk identification,
  and an assessment of the potential industrial
  CO2 source
• This project has led to the funding of the
  CarbonSAFE Wabash project.

NRAP – IAM Model Results
• Investigated effect of      Rate of CO2 leakage for three
                             hypothetical wells at 1, 1.5 and 2
  different values of          km away from injection well
  cement permeability on
  leakage rates
• Results indicate low
  risk of CO2 leakage
  through wells for sites
  considered
• Identified flaws in tool
  and provided
  recommendations for
  improving future
  editions of the tool
Accomplishments to Date
– This Pre-feasibilty CarbonSAFE Illinois East-subbasin
  has met most of its deliverables and has resulted in the
  funding of the Feasiblity Wabash CarbonSAFE project in
  Indiana.
– Continue work in the primary sub-basin on scaling-in
  from regional screening toward site feasibility; continue
  to evaluate the relative merits and/or risks of different
  focal areas within the secondary study area.
– Completed preliminary discussions with operators of the
  different sources

Lessons Learned
– Greatest challenge is making an economic model from storage
  into saline reservoirs
– A lack of deep well data near industrial CO2 sources makes
  storage and injection analysis difficult

                                                                23
Synergy Opportunities
– There is an opportunity to work on the economic feasibility of
  CCS with the other participants in the CarbonSAFE program.
– Learn different approaches to evaluating potential sites for large
  scale CCS projects.
– Many of the industrial sources are along the Illinois-Indiana-
  Kentucky border motivating further collaboration between state
  research institutes
   • This collaboration has resulted in the new CarbonSAFE Feasibility
     Wabash project.
– National Risk Assessment Partnership (NRAP) Screening

Benefit to the Program
Identifying geological storage sites suitable for storage of over 50
million tonnes of CO2 is essential for developing commercial-scale
CCS projects to address greenhouse gas emissions from industrial
sources. There are relatively few large carbon storage projects in
deep saline reservoirs, and this gap in development knowledge will
be addressed by the research in this project. Our work will address
improving our storage capacity estimates to attain an industry
standard of ±30% or better for investment decisions. The data
from this study will be used within the NRAP Toolkits to move
toward validating technologies to ensure storage permanence and to
improve reservoir storage efficiency. The knowledge gained will
contribute to best practice manuals about CCS technology and
issues that will be of broad use to other sites and future           27
commercialization efforts.
Goals of Project
• Project will conduct a pre-feasibility assessment
  for commercial-scale geologic carbon storage
  (CO2) complexes in the East sub-basin of
  Illinois.
• Address gaps in experience and knowledge
  about scaling up from demonstration to
  commercial-scale storage for more than 50
  million tonnes of CO2 injection from one or more
  industrial sources

Gantt Chart
• Provide a simple Gantt chart showing project lifetime in years on
  the horizontal axis and major tasks along the vertical axis. Use
  symbols to indicate major and minor milestones. Use shaded
  lines or the like to indicate duration of each task and the amount
  of work completed to date.
