Advancing Energy Innovations to Mitigate Climate Change - Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership Challenge The Midwest region of the United States, which is heavily dependent on coal- based energy and has a large industrial base, has very high carbon dioxide emissions. Concern over the potential effects of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide on global climate has prompted studies on ways to reduce emissions of these gases. Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is seen as the quickest and most cost-effective way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal-fired power plants, gas processing operations and cement and steel industries. However, before CCS can be approved for large-scale commercial use, we need to prove the safety and efficacy of geologic storage in c
