Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships
Developing the Infrastructure for Wide Scale Deployment Seven Regional Partnerships
400+ distinct organizations, 43 states, 4 Canadian Provinces
• Engage regional, state, and local governments • Determine regional sequestration benefits
• Baseline region for sources and sinks • Establish monitoring and verification protocols
• Address regulatory, environmental, and outreach issues • Validate sequestration technology and infrastructure
Development Phase (2008-2018+) 8 large scale
injections (over 1 million tons each)
Commercial scale understanding
Regulatory, liability, ownership issues
Validation Phase (2005-2011)
20 injection tests in saline formations, depleted oil, unmineable coal seams, and basalt
Characterization Phase (2003-2005)
Search of potential storage locations and CO2 sources
Found potential for 100’s of years of storage

President’s FE portfolio and FY 16 budget
• Loan Program Office: $8B in clean fossil authorities • ARRA projects: >$4.5B commitment • Tax credit proposal: comparable to renewable ITC’s +
PTC’s • $2B ITC credits: 30% capital investment (incl.
infrastructure) • Uncapped (!) STC’s (sequestration tax credits) –
scored at $3B • New authorities, not extensions/modifications of
existing
• FE RD&D: $564M for FY16; $400M for clean coal and CCUS
More than just FE RD&D budget

U.S. Annual Energy Outlook, 2015 Business as usual without Clean Power Plan
15 Source: HIS Energy Strategic Horizons September 2015
• INDCs submitted through 8/15, if fully realized by 2030, would contribute ~20% of the abatement pathway required to limit
global average temperature increases to
≤2 degrees C.
• Fossil fuel demand will grow under INDCs, even if commitments are fully met. Natural gas +30%,
coal and oil +5%.

Fossil Fuels as “Stranded Assets”?
Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, cited in the Financial Times, September 30, 2015:
In a sweeping assessment of the financial risks posed by global warming, Mr. Carney acknowledged there was a danger the assets of fossil fuel companies could be left “stranded” by tougher rules to curb climate change.
“All of the above” required
CCS technology remains critically important abundant, low-cost fossil energy is why

New Policies can Prompt Innovation
• U.S. recently finalized the Clean Power Plan – 111(b) New Sources – 111(d) Existing Sources
• CCS is an option for achieving reductions under both Rules
• Expect innovation! – Utilization – Partial capture – modular systems

CERC • RD&D • Bilateral public-private partnership
CCWG • State Department leads, CCUS is
one of five tracks • Counter facing projects have been
identified • 3 large-scale EOR efforts
FE Protocol • Exchanges • Training • Clean Coal Industry Program
US-China Climate Agreement • Mentioned CERC • Identified new collaborative bilateral
CCS projects: • Geological storage project • Enhanced water recovery
What is the difference?
DOE with MOST NEA and MoHURD on range of clean
energy R&D

US Intended Nationally Determined Contribution
• INDC: The United States intends to achieve an economy-wide target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 26%-28% below its 2005 level in 2025 and to make best efforts to reduce its emissions by 28%.
• Scope and Coverage: – The U.S. target covers all greenhouse gases included in the 2014
Inventory of United States Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) using a 100-year GWP.
– The target covers all IPCC Sectors. – The target accounts for the land sector using a net-net approach and
uses a “production approach” for harvested wood products • The US does not intend to use international market
mechanisms
