	Join us for our September 2010 Luncheon Meeting! Potential Environmental Implications of Geologic Carbon Storage Andrew Horn, M.S., P.G. Abstract: Geologic carbon storage (GCS) is expected to be a cornerstone of “clean coal” technology and key to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from large point-sources. Large-scale GCS testing is planned for the near future and billions of dollars are being spent globally to develop or improve an array of carbon capture and sequestration technologies. A commercial scale project for a typical Colorado coal-fired power plant would inject about 5000 gpm of supercritical CO2 into the geologic reservoir over a 50-year project life. Pressure impacts could encompass approximately 8000 square-miles, force brines into drinking water aquifers or cause earthquakes.
