California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE)

DRAFT Final contract report prepared by CIEE for the California Energy Commission; contribution to WESTCARB Phase II. The West Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (WESTCARB) is one of seven partnerships that have been established by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to evaluate carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies best suited for different regions of the country. The West Coast Region comprises Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia. Both terrestrial and geologic sequestration potential has been evaluated in the Region during Phase II of the project. A centralized Geographic Information System (GIS) database of stationary sources and geologic and terrestrial sink data was enhanced, incorporating relevant project data.
