2012 Annual Report 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 was 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 through Tampa Electric/ECT Inc that supported two PhD students. Four refereed publications on carbon sequestration appeared in print in 2012. Four presentations 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 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. This investigation has resulted in two grants, one with Tampa Electric and one with Mosaic phosphate, an accepted publication in the journal of the National Academy of Inventors, and a proposal submitted to the US Department of Energy. This technology holds promise for increasing the availability of potable water supplies for wastewater reuse, safer and more efficient geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide, and reduced waste disposal costs for Florida industries such as power utilities and phosphate companies. Active Grants: Tampa Electric/ECT Inc, 2010-2012, Numerical modeling of carbon sequestration and waste water injection at the Polk Power Station, Polk County, Florida, approximately $60,000 in 2012. Grants Submitted: Numerical and geochemical modeling of conjunctive injection of reverse osmosis reject water and industrial process water, Mosaic/ECT Inc, 10/12, awarded. Evaluation of Wastewater Flooding on the Efficiency and Safety of Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide, US DOE, $760,000, 4/12, pending. Refereed Publications: Roland T. Okwen, Mark T.
