Transporting CO2 From Source to Sink using GIS Mission 2013 12 000 Wednesday September 30 2009 Daniel Sheehan Outline What is a GIS Data Types Symbolizing data Useful data for Carbon Sequestration Power plants Potential Sinks Processing Network Analysis Cost Path Analysis 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 Vector Data Points Line Polygons All are scale dependent Point data Location of power plants CO2 from power plants Polygon Data China Population 1990 Attributes Metadata describing attributes Combing Maps Power plants in Massachusetts and Population Boston area power plants MIT power plant in Google Earth Data for Carbon Sequestration Sinks and Sources Deep Saline formations are blue power plants are yellow dots Transportation problem Routing piplelines from Carbon Sources to Carbon sinks Nearest deep saline formation CO2 sources near Cambridge Routing from power plants to a single pipeline Single network vs multiple pipelines Herzog s cost path model 70 kilometer pipeline Development of Terrascope model in GIS workshops You will need to create your own cost surface required for cost path model river crossings zoning land use restrictions construction costs 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 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 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 Google Maps API 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 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 MIT Geodata Reposity http web mit edu geoweb Example Google Maps API http web mit edu dsheehan www terrascope 2012 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
