Co-generation, Ethanol Production and CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Model for Environmentally and Economically Sound Linked Energy Systems

Kansas Geological Survey Open-file Report 2002-6

CO2 from Ethanol and Enhanced Oil Recovery

Opportunity for “Value-Added” geologic CO2 sequestration

• Ethanol production to double by 2005
  • Source of pure CO2 without a market
  • Location of new ethanol plants near mature oil reservoirs distant to CO2 geologic CO2 sources
• CO2 emission reduction interest is increasing
• Potential to increase domestic energy production in regions that are not politically sensitive
