PROBLEM & APPROACH
3
Problem MVA & FI
– Leakage of GCS ff-CO2 to atmosphere?
– Detect & locate, quantify, 1%, .01%, 0%?
– Differentiation of ff-CO2 from biogenic CO2?
– Data requirements for GCS credits?
Approach
– Multi-isotopic field analyzers (GMP)
• 14C as direct ff-CO2 signal (~2 per mil)
• 13C as ecosystem signal (<0.1 per mil)
– Deploy in natural CO2 vent geology/ecosystems
– Deploy in active GCS sites
– Verification process for GCS carbon credits
