SECARB Phase III Anthropogenic Test

Washington County

Project Schedule and Milestones

The 25 MW CO2 capture unit at Alabama Powers (Southern Co.) Plant Barry became operational in June 2011. A newly built 12 mile CO2 pipeline will transport CO2 from Plant Barry to the Citronelle Dome. Approx. 100,000-150,000 metric tons of CO2 per year will be injected into the Paluxy saline formation for 2-3 years. Advanced Resources and supporting researchers will conduct 3 years of monitoring after CO2 injection and then close the site.

SECARB Phase III: Notable Accomplishments

l

The Early Test is the first of the RCSPs to commence CO2 injection. The Early Test is the first of the RCSPs to monitor a 1 million tonne CO2 injection. The Anthropogenic Test is the first of the RCSPs to utilize anthropogenic CO2 from a coal-fired power plant.
