Abstrakt: Abstract: The Midwestern Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP) is implementing an integrated effort to validate the geologic storage potential in the Midwestern states within the USA through multiple field demonstrations. Validation of the geologic storage potential in this area requires regional geologic exploration along with site-specific demonstrations of CO2 injection and monitoring. These demonstrations are being conducted in collaboration with energy companies in Appalachian Basin, Michigan Basin, and Cincinnati Arch geologic regions. Each field test incorporates extensive characterization, reservoir modeling, permitting, outreach, injection and monitoring in a deep saline reservoir setting. The progress that has been achieved during the past year, including the evaluation of injection at two test sites, is presented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
