Project Description
The Atlantic Coast CO2 Emissions Storage Sink: Project ACCESS CarbonSAFE Phase II Project seeks to build on regional data sets that demonstrate that the subsurface within Miami‐Dade County, FL has the potential to store commercial volumes of CO2 safely, permanently, and economically. The primary target reservoirs for the CO2 storage complex are the deep Cedar Keys/Lawson and Dollar Bay carbonates located within the South Florida Basin, central Miami‐Dade County. These deep saline reservoirs are beneath a confining system encompassing at least 1,500 ft of anhydrite and other low-permeability sediments. Project ACCESS will acquire and process approximately 12 line-miles of 2D seismic data to ensure geologic rigor, as well as a shallow resistivity survey (karst identification), and then drill a deep stratigraphic test well to confirm the geological properties of the confining system and saline reservoirs within the storage complex. The geological data will be incorporated into numerical models to establish the areal extent of the CO2 injection and help design the storage site and its monitoring system. The goal is to establish the foundation for a commercial scale geologic storage complex for CO2 captured from Titan’s Pennsuco Cement Plant and surrounding industrial sources of CO2 located in Miami‐Dade County, Florida.
Project Benefits
The project seeks to establish a decarbonization solution for Titan’s Pennsuco Cement Plant and surrounding industrial sources of CO2 located in Miami‐Dade County, Florida. The project will also (1) establish a consortium of participating universities, including minority serving institutions investing in education and community engagement; (2) engage with local communities and regulators in advance of test well drilling; and (3) engage with local stakeholders to discuss the ambitions of the project to address community opportunities and concerns. Long term, it is anticipated that the integrated project will improve local air quality and provide health benefits by reducing regional emissions. The project will also aid in attracting and retaining good-paying and quality jobs in the region.
