Decision Point on Anthropogenic Test (SECARB Work Product 6.2.1.a)

The Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership’s (SECARB’s) Anthropogenic Test is a demonstration of the deployment of CO 2 capture, transport, geologic storage and monitoring technologies. The capture component of the test takes place at the James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant in Bucks, Alabama. The capture facility utilizes post-combustion amine capture technology licensed from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America to process flue gas from a coal-fired power unit at Plant Barry. The amount of CO 2 captured using this process is equivalent to the emissions produced when generating 25 megawatts (MW) of electricity. CO 2 captured at the plant is transported by pipeline for underground storage in a saline geologic formation within the Citronelle Dome. This project is one of the first and the largest fully-integrated commercial prototype coal-fired carbon capture and storage projects in the USA.

Site Design and Layout In Preparation for the Anthropogenic Test (SECARB Work Product 6.2.1.b)

Commercial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology deployment for the electrical utility industry will require a robust international R&D program with governmental support both in cost-share and in risk management. In an effort to comply with environmental legislation or regulation related to CO 2 , the electrical utility industry hopes to be in a position to make financial decisions on utility boiler sourced CCS technology and associated risk management by 2020.

Staged OMB for Modular Gasifier/Burner

The goal of this final project report is to comprehensively summarize the work conducted on project DE-FE0031506. In accordance with the Statement of Project Objectives (SOPO), the University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (UK CAER) (Recipient) has developed a staged opposed multi-burner (OMB) gasifier, scaled down from a commercial gasification technology to utilize coal slurry as feed for the high-temperature gasification. The project involved the design, fabrication, commissioning, parametric testing, and performance validation of the entrained gasifier with multiple burners to narrow the major near-term technical gaps that impede the application of small-size gasification by modularizing the system. Project results verified the UK CAER approach to address the major technical challenges on the gasification modularization for a distributed application at a small scale of 1-5 MWe, while maintaining advantages in cost and flexibility, which include: 1) a cost-effective burner configuration to provide high flexibility in both load and fuel feed; 2) the modularized staged-OMB to provide better gasification performance such as a desired temperature profile, better fuel conversion, better gasification efficiency, and long lifetimes of the refractory wall and burners; and 3) load control simply through changing the number of burners firing. UK CAER’s staged gasifier configuration, fuel blend performance, and economic evaluation shows promise, as summarized in this report, as an effective means for improved gasification efficiency with reduced operation cost and process complexity.

Transportation Design and Products Specification (SECARB Phase III Work Product 6.2.2.a)

The SECARB Anthropogenic Test at the Citronelle oil field in Mobile County, Alabama is the largest fully integrated coal-fired carbon capture, transportation and storage project in the United States. Constructed and funded by Southern Company and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the CO 2 capture facility at Alabama Power’s 2,657-megawatt Plant Barry captures up to 500 metric tons of CO 2 per day, the equivalent emissions from 25 MW of the plant’s power generation. Captured CO 2 is transported to the mature Citronelle oil field atop a 16,380 acre (66.3 km2 of surface area), geologic salt dome. Citronelle oil field is operated by Denbury Onshore, LLC. The CO 2 is injected through ten perforated intervals in the injection well casing at depths ranging from 9,436 ft to 9,800 ft into the porous and permeable sandstones of the Paluxy Formation. This report describes the transportation design and product specifications for captured CO 2 transported from the capture facility to the underground storage reservoir. CO 2 is transported through approximately 12 miles of pipeline from Plant Barry’s capture facility and is injected into the saline aquifer sandstones of the Paluxy formation at Citronelle oil field. The following outlines the details and characteristics of each point of transportation and the quality of CO 2 being transported.

SECARB Annual Report on In-Situ Monitoring Program

The Southeast Carbon Sequestration Partnership Phase III Anthropogenic Test at Citronelle Field is the United States’ largest prototype of commercial CO 2 capture from a coal-fired power station and transportation, injection, storage and monitoring. This report details the results of the second and third year of injection monitoring results for the Anthropogenic Test. Monitoring methods include both direct and indirect measurements. The Class V Experimental Permit requires extensive monitoring of injected CO 2 at the surface and at deep and shallow depths. The safety, integrity and information objectives of the CO 2 monitoring plan are in place to: (1) create and sustain wellbore integrity; (2) assure safe CO 2 injection operations; 3) verify the location and migration of the injected CO 2 plume; and (4) monitor for any CO 2 leakage. A robust suite of monitoring approaches are utilized for the insitu monitoring and include, pressure monitoring, various seismic surveys, pulsed neutron logging, reservoir fluid sampling and injection surveys. Data and observations collected using these monitoring methods will be used in the numerical model to inform the post-injection site care monitoring plan. This report describes actions pertaining to in situ monitoring at the Anthropogenic Test Site that were undertaken during the period of October 2013 to January 2015. This report details the results of the second and third year of injection monitoring results for the Anthropogenic Test. Work Product 9.2.2.b details the shallow monitoring results for 2014. CO 2 injection operations began on August 20, 2012 and terminated on September 1st 2014.

SECARB Initial Injection Period Reservoir Modeling Report

The Southeast Carbon Sequestration Partnership Phase III Anthropogenic Test at Citronelle Field is the United States’ largest CO 2 capture and transportation, injection, storage and monitoring project using CO 2 derived from a coal-fired power station. The project represents a U.S. Department of Energy research and development initiative designed to demonstrate deep underground injection and containment of 100,000 tonnes or more of anthropogenic-source CO 2 . A series of reservoir modeling runs will be performed during the pre-injection, injection, and post-injection phases of the project and will be used to predict plume migration and areal extent. Pressure, temperature, and downhole measurements (seismic, fluid and logging), all data collected as a part of the monitoring program, are utilized as reservoir performance parameters to tune the existing geophysical and geochemical simulation models. The ability to represent site injection activities with the produced detailed simulation models lend credence to long-term forecasts of CO 2 fate and the progress of the CO 2 plume. This report provides an assessment of the simulation model results for CO 2 injection at the Citronelle Anthropogenic Test site from the period of August 20, 2012 to August 31, 2013.
