What is CarbonSAFE-Illinois
CarbonSAFE is a US DOE led program designed to accelerate commercial-scale use of carbon capture and storage technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere from industrial and power generation sources. CarbonSAFE builds on extensive work investigating and applying these technologies through the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships initiative. Projects in CarbonSAFE are focusing on developing geologic storage sites capable of being used for several decades with ultimate storage of over 50 million tonnes of anthropogenic carbon dioxide. The research under CarbonSAFE is intended to develop technologies as part of a larger portfolio of methods to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.
