Upcoming Events Injection test in Michigan (~Dec 2007 Jan 2008) Complete injection test plan for Burger Compression and injection from Powerspan source Liquid CO2 from commercial source Drill injection well at East Bend (Late 2007 early 2008) Complete injection permits for Burger and East Bend Injection testing at Burger (start ~ late summer 2008) Injection testing at East Bend (start ~ late 2008) Update web site to improve tracking of demos Continue soil sampling and analysis for terrestrial tests
Proposed Phase III Geologic Test Sites Ethanol Plant in Ohio Primary site Inject 1 million tons of CO 2 over a four-year period Target is the Mt. Simon reservoir, the largest deep saline target in our region. IGCC in Indiana Optional site Possible 2 million tons of CO 2 injection over fouryear injection period Multiple injection zones and caprock layers
The TAME ethanol plant in Greenville, Ohio has been selected as the primary MRCSP Phase III test site TAME is a joint venture of The Andersons Inc. and Marathon Petroleum Company The Greenville plant is designed to produce 110 million gallons of ethanol per year As a result it will produce an estimated 280,000 tons of injection grade CO 2 per year Plant startup is expected to occur early in 2008 CO 2 Injection operations are expected to begin in early FY 10
Location of TAME Site Greenville, Ohio TAME Site
MRCSP Phase III Site Layout Potential Well Site and Compressor Station CO2 Vent Stack Fermentation Administration Grain Storage Area Rail Access
Duke s IGCC plant near Edwardsport, Indiana has been selected as an optional Phase III site 640 MW IGCC Power Plant ~500,000 tons of CO 2 per year Plant startup scheduled for late 2011 CO 2 injection operations could start in early 2012 Existing Power Plant IGCC Site Duke Property Line
