The Plains CO₂ Reduction (PCOR) Partnership, led by the Energy & Environmental Research Center, and Spectra Energy Transmission (SET) have investigated the feasibility of a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions produced by SET's Fort Nelson Gas Plant (FNGP). The PCOR partnership applied geologic characterization; modeling; risk assessment (RA), and monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA) strategies using an integrated, iterative process to produce superior-quality results during the project feasibility period. The Fort Nelson efforts serve as the basis for a Best Practices Manual (BPM) that offers stakeholders insight and guidance on geological storage of CO₂ in a deep carbonate saline formation.
