I BELIEVE THAT CO2 SEQUESTRATION HAS NOT BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO BE AN AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY (TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE), PRACTICAL (ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE), SAFE ( NEAR TERM RELIABLE), OR PERMANENT (LONG TERM RELIABLE). THEREFORE, IF THIS APPROACH WERE APPROVED BY THE P.S.C., IT WOULD BE AT SUBSTANTIAL PERIL TO THE STATE. IT WOULD INDICATE TO THE WORLD THAT OUR STATE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY. SUCH APPROVAL WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR A.E.P. TO BUILD THE FACILITY AND THEN TAKE THE POSITION THAT THEY WOULD THEN PRACTICE SEQUESTRATION AS SOON AS IT BECOMES FEASIBLE AND RELIABLE, AND WHO KNOWS WHEN OR WHETHER THIS WILL EVER BE THE CASE. duane nichols **************New year...new news.

AEP DRAFT PERMIT FOR SEQUESTRATION OF CO2 IN MASON COUNTY
by William V. DePaulo, Esq. 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

I am sending by separate email a link to allow you to download the 500+ docs released under the FOIA pertaining to the DEP proposed permit to allow Appalachian Power to inject CO2 at its Mason County "liquids" plant. The hearing for this is scheduled for January 20, 2009. Comments will be accepted through January 30, 2009. I have stated earlier my belief that we should not object, per se, to the issuance of the permit. However, I believe we should insist on complete transparency, i.e., total access by all to the data collected to see if this well effectively captures CO2. Please let me know what thoughts you have on this issue. -- William V.

Re: [EC] Some more info on CO2
by James Kotcon 30 Dec '08

There is a lot of potential in algae to sequester CO2, however, in most cases, the algae is used as an oil feedstock for liquid transportation fuels. Hence this merely delays the time before the fossil carbon hits the atmosphere. The key is to use sequestration on biomass-derived fuels, then pump the sequestered CO2 back underground. Such a process produces a net reduction in atmospheric CO2. I have heard of some truly impressive rates of CO2 sequestration from algae, but the energy source is still sunlight, and that means the area needed for algae ponds to sequester all the CO2 from a coal-fired power plant would be truly huge (as in many square miles). I am not aware of any algae sequestration project that would sequester more than a tiny fraction of the CO2 from a coal-fired plant. I would like to see a lot more research in this area, but I do not see it being a commercially viable technology on the scale needed in the foreseeable future.
