The Mt Simon sandstone is a massive regional sandstone which has the potential to store more than 100 years of CO2 emissions from major point sources in the region. The MRCSP TAME project is designed to implement a geologic injection test of a large scale to promote understanding of injectivity, capacity and storage potential in the Mt. Simon sandstone. The FutureGen project was also proposed to store CO2 in the Mt Simon sandstone.
There is an optional site for the source of CO2: An IGCC power plant to be located near Edwardsport, Indiana. This 640 MW power plant is currently being developed by Duke Energy, and scheduled for start-up in 2011 with injection of 0.5 MT CO2/Yr to start as soon as 2012.
