Summary/Abstract
This paper reviews the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) concept, which is a first attempt to bring the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) carbon sequestration program activities into the ‘‘real world’’ by using a geographically-disposed-system type approach for the U.S.. Each regional partnership is unique and covers a unique section of the U.S. and is tasked with determining how the research and development activities of DOE’s carbon sequestration program can best be implemented in their region of the country.
