Carbon Capture and Sequestration: The U.S. Department of Energy's R&D Efforts to Characterize Opportunities for Deep Geologic Storage of Carbon Dioxide in Offshore Resources
DOE is the lead federal agency for the research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) of carbon sequestration technologies. There is great potential for geologic storage in state and federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and in the Texas and California state territorial waters, as well as research efforts DOE is supporting world-wide.

The U.S. Department of Energy's R&D Program to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Beneficial Uses of Carbon Dioxide
As high carbon dioxide-emitting utilities and other industries move toward implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to manage greenhouse gas emissions, more and more carbon dioxide will become available as a resource for multiple applications.

Impact of the Marcellus Shale Gas Play on Current and Future CCS Activities
The Marcellus Shale is a major geologic formation underlying significant portions of New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Although it is a very tight formation, it contains a massive quantity of natural gas, thus making it of great economic importance.

Geologic Carbon Capture and Storage
An option that has been proposed to combat the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is the capture of carbon dioxide at large stationary sources, such as power plants, and injection into a geologic formation for permanent storage - generally referred to as carbon capture and storage.
