“…The optimal network included 5 out of the 5 simulated repository sites. If only one of the sites could be permitted and developed [ 42 ], it appears the most favorable site within Florida would be DA4, located south of Interstate 4 in Osceola County, Florida. This repository site will be further explored in future modeling to be completed as part of this research effort since under current capacity estimates; this site is filled within 14 years.…”

For over a decade, the United States Department of Energy, and engineers, geologists, and scientists from all over the world have investigated the potential for reducing atmospheric carbon emissions through carbon sequestration. Numerous reports exist analyzing the potential for sequestering carbon dioxide at various sites around the globe, but none have identified the potential for a statewide system in Florida, USA. In 2005, 83% of Florida’s electrical energy was produced by natural gas, coal, or oil (e.g., fossil fuels), from power plants spread across the state. In addition, only limited research has been completed on evaluating optimal pipeline transportation networks to centralized carbon dioxide repositories. This paper describes the feasibility and preliminary locations for an optimal centralized Florida-wide carbon sequestration repository. Linear programming optimization modeling is used to plan and route an idealized pipeline network to existing Florida power plants. Further analysis of the subsurface geology in these general locations will provide insight into the suitability of the subsurface conditions and the available capacity for carbon sequestration at selected possible repository sites. The identification of the most favorable site(s) is also presented.

“…In addition, the regulatory framework provided by existing solid waste management regulations provides opportunities to improve the proposed geologic sequestration guidance. 29 A number of key considerations for future ULGSS have been revealed as a result of this paper. These include considerations for ULGSS permitting, site selection, impact evaluation, operations, cost, and waste stream make-up.…”

“…Bayer and Kobelski discuss the proposed rule at length and present the requirements. 29 The proposed rule puts forth technical criteria and guidelines for geologic site characterization, area of review evaluation, well construction and operation, mechanical integrity testing, monitoring, financial responsibility, injection well plugging, postinjection site care, and site closure. The basic requirements 29 include the following:…”

Geologic sequestration appears to be a technically feasible method of storing carbon dioxide in underground aquifers in order to lower greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. The overall feasibility of geologic sequestration is still in question and as such, has been the focus of intense research over the past decade. Researchers have looked to the oil/gas industry and water well industry for lessons learned and technical knowledge, however, a better industry to emulate may well be the waste industry. Viewing geologic sequestration repositories as underground landfills has a great many benefits. First, there is a plethora of existing research and investigations that are directly analogous to geologic sequestration projects. Second, the regulatory framework is rather mature and can be easily adapted to serve geologic sequestration. This paper conducts an extensive literature search of the environmental, waste, and geologic sequestration literature to ascertain planning, design, and operational methodologies, lessons learned, and concepts that are directly useful for geologic sequestration to improve the technical and regulatory framework. Lastly, the paper uses a hypothetical underground landfill geologic sequestration site (ULGSS) in Florida, USA to discuss some of the findings and implications from the literature. It is concluded that there are a number of literature findings from the waste and environmental arena that should be adapted for geologic sequestration.
