University of South Florida Creation of Carbon Sequestration Data, Technologies and Professional Cohorts for Florida PI: Mark Stewart Co-PIs: Jeffrey Cunningham, Maya Trotz Students: Arlin Briley, PhD, Mark Thomas, PhD Description: Rising concerns over increasing levels of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, have led to suggestions to capture carbon dioxide at fixed sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, and sequester the carbon for millennia by injecting it underground. Florida overlies many thousands of feet of carbonate rocks which may be suitable for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide. This project is investigating the potential for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide in Florida, the physical and chemical changes that may occur as a result of injection, assess the potential for escape of injected carbon dioxide, determine the risk, if any, to aquifer systems used for water supplies, develop methodologies for Florida utilities to predict the performance and risks of proposed sequestration projects, and educate a cohort of geologic sequestration professionals to create a carbon sequestration industry in Florida. This project has graduated two PhD students, Tina Roberts-Ashby, US Geological Survey, and Roland Okwen, Illinois State Geological Survey, one post-doctoral student, Anwar Shadab, Missouri University of Science and Technology, and currently supports two PhD students. Budget: $479,640 Universities: USF External Collaborators: TECO, RTI, ECT, DOE Progress Summary Progress continued on the collaboration with Tampa Electric Co, DOE and RTI on the carbon sequestration and wastewater injection pilot project at the Polk Power Station (PPS). The total DOE funding for this project is $171 million. USF is responsible for the mathematical modeling of the pilot carbon sequestration and wastewater injection project at the PPS. In conjunction with this project, USF had a grant in 2011-2012 through Tampa Electric/ECT Inc that supported two PhD students. Four refereed publications on carbon sequestration appeared in print in 2012, one is in press, and one is in review. Four presentations/posters on research results were given at national and regional meetings by faculty members and graduate students. A proposal was submitted to DOE to investigate an innovative and potentially very important conjunctive injection of carbon dioxide and wastewater and is in review. This proposed project would provide a new source of potable water, help municipalities deal with wastewater disposal, increase the efficiency and safety of carbon sequestration, and reduce costs through shared facilities. This proposal would leverage current Federal funding at the PPS project. Two USF GCS PhD students, Tina Roberts-Ashby, USGS, Washington, DC, and Roland Okwen, Illinois State Geological Survey/Univ Illinois, are continuing to collaborate with the USF Carbon Sequestration Group on GCS research. The USF GCS group has achieved international recognition through its refereed publications in international journals and presentations at national meetings. As a result of USF GCS Group work, Florida was selected for one of the few DOE funded carbon capture/sequestration pilot projects in the US. The USF GCS group will continue to attempt to leverage the existing funding at PPS to further funded research and graduate training in carbon sequestration. The expertise and technology for physical and geochemical modeling of co-injection of reverse-osmosis reject water, supercritical carbon dioxide and industrial process water developed by USF GCS at the Polk Power Station has resulted in a new project transferring the technology to a facility operated by the Mosaic phosphate company. This expertise may have wide applicability for safely treating and reusing of municipal wastewater, reducing 14 | P a g ePDF Image | FESC Research, Education and Outreach Project
