Subject: CLIMATE, AIR - ND. DOI/USGS. Notice of Publication of a Carbon Dioxide Storage Resource Assessment Methodology
 
[Federal Register: July 8, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 130)]
[Notices]              
[Page 39273]

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

U.S. Geological Survey

Energy Independence and Security Act (Pub. L. 110-140)

AGENCY: U.S. Geological Survey.

ACTION: Notice of Publication of a Carbon Dioxide Storage Resource
Assessment Methodology.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act (Pub. L.
110-140) directed the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to conduct
a national assessment of potential geologic storage resources for
carbon dioxide (CO2). The first requirement stipulated in
the legislation was to develop a methodology to estimate storage
potential that could be applied uniformly to geologic formations across
the United States, and then to announce the publication of the
methodology in the Federal Register. The methodology, ``A Probabilistic
Assessment Methodology for the Evaluation of Geologic Carbon Dioxide
Storage,'' was published as an Open-File Report by the USGS and can be
downloaded from: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2010/1127. This new
methodology incorporates comments from the public, the heads of
affected Federal and State agencies, and technical experts from Federal
agencies, institutions of higher education, nongovernmental
organizations, State organizations, industry, and international
geoscience organizations, as required by the legislation. The new
methodology will allow the USGS to assess the geologic CO2
storage resource potential for the United States. The results of the
USGS national assessment will provide important information to evaluate
the potential for CO2 storage as a mitigation option for
global climate change.
    Inquiries: If other parties are interested in learning more about
the methodology, USGS CO2 storage assessment activities, or
