  1. Transporting CO2 From Source to Sink using GIS Mission 2013, 12.000 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 Daniel Sheehan

  2. Outline • What is a GIS • Data Types • Symbolizing data • Useful data for Carbon Sequestration • Power plants • Potential Sinks • Processing • Network Analysis • Cost Path Analysis

  3. What is a GIS (Geographic Information System)? • GIS is a tool for managing data about where features are (geographic coordinate data) and what the features are like (attribute data). A GIS provides the ability to query, manipulate, and analyze these data.

  4. Vector Data • Points • Line • Polygons • All are scale dependent

  5. Point data:Location of power plants

  6. CO2 from power plants

  7. Polygon DataChina, Population 1990

  8. Attributes

  9. Metadata describing attributes

  10. Combing Maps: Power plants in Massachusetts and Population

  11. Boston area power plants

  12. MIT power plant in Google Earth

  13. Data for Carbon Sequestration:Sinks and Sources Deep Saline formations are blue, power plants are yellow dots

  14. Transportation problemRouting piplelines from Carbon Sources to Carbon sinks Nearest deep saline formation CO2 sources near Cambridge

  15. Routing from power plants to a single pipeline

  16. Single network vs multiple pipelines

  17. Herzog’s cost path model 70 kilometer pipeline

  18. Development of Terrascope modelin GIS workshops • You will need to create your own cost surface (required for cost path model) • river crossings • zoning/land use restrictions • construction costs

  19. Workshop content • Use the data presented here to determine the least cost path for routing a pipeline from Boston area CO2 sources to the nearest deep saline formation • Use Arcgis 9.3 software • Visualize your least cost path in Google Earth

  20. GIS Workshops • Scheduled for 7:30-9PM, limit of 22 people per session • Additional sessions can be scheduled • October 7 • October 14 • October 15 • Must sign up with Seth Burgess (sburgess@MIT.EDU) • Determine construction costs before lab

  21. Geologic Maps • For teams 4 and 5, you will need to know what minerals are where. Geologic data is not always available in digital form. Maps will be helpful for you. In Barton, maps are searchable. See, for example: http://library.mit.edu/item/000179757, Bedrock Geologic Map of Massachusetts

  22. Google Maps API

  23. Where to get more infomation • GIS Lab, Rotch Library, Building 7 • 6 PCs with Arcgis and Google Earth Pro installed • staffed 12:30PM – 4:00PM Monday through Thursday and by appointment • email gishelp@mit.edu or dsheehan@mit.edu • 37-312, Windows Cluster in Building 37 • 23 high end PCs with Arcgis installed

  24. Web sites • http://atlas.utah.gov/WESTCARB-GIS-data/ • http://www.natcarb.org/ Both sites sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory

  25. MIT Geodata Reposity • http://web.mit.edu/geoweb • Example Google Maps API • http://web.mit.edu/dsheehan/www/terrascope2012.html • Download Google Earth • http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html • Sign up for Arcgis for your machine • https://web.mit.edu/ist/products/vsls/forms/esri.html
