ABOUT THE <strong>MRCSP</strong><br />

The <strong>Midwest</strong> Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (<strong>MRCSP</strong>) is a public/private consortium<br />

that is assessing the technical potential, economic viability, and public acceptability of carbon sequestration<br />

within its region. The <strong>MRCSP</strong> region consists of seven contiguous states: Indiana, Kentucky,<br />

Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. A group of leading universities,<br />

state geological surveys, non-governmental organizations and private companies listed below and led<br />

by Battelle, makes up the <strong>MRCSP</strong>. It is one of seven such partnerships across the U.S. that make up<br />

the U.S. DOE Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership Program. The U.S. DOE through NETL<br />

contributes the majority of funds for the <strong>MRCSP</strong>’s research accounting for 68.62% of the total funding<br />

or $2.41 million for the current phase of work all under Agreement No. DE-PS26-05NT42255.<br />

The next largest contributor is the Ohio Coal Development Office within The Ohio Air Quality Development<br />

Authority under Agreement No. CDO/DE-02-17. The <strong>MRCSP</strong> also receives funding from<br />

all of the other members listed below.<br />
