Soil Gas Monitoring for the ZERT Shallow CO2 Injection Project
The ZERT (Zero Emissions Research and Technology) shallow injection experiment is a collaborative effort aimed at developing, verifying, and evaluating near-surface monitoring techniques for geological carbon sequestration. The goal is to simulate leakage of CO2 to the surface in order to determine if various monitoring techniques have the ability to detect and quantify the CO2 lost to the atmosphere. The site for this experiment is a grass field that is part of an agricultural research facility at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. The ZERT project included collaboration from several research groups and organizations. Presented here are the results from the monitoring team of the National Energy Technology Lahoratory (NETL). The purpose of this arrangement was to allow each individual research group to run experiments in such a way that the operations did not interfere with each other.
