This pilot-scale project continued the development of new technologies to reduce the cost of carbon dioxide (CO₂) separation, capture, and geologic storage from combustion sources such as turbines, heaters, and boilers. These technologies will be applicable to a large fraction of CO₂ sources around the world, including power plants and other industrial processes. The ultimate goal of the entire project was to reduce the cost of CO₂ capture from large fixed combustion sources by 20%–30%, while also addressing critical issues such as storage site/project certification, well integrity, and monitoring.

Recognized by the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) at its Melbourne meeting in September 2004.
