Proposal: Engineering Research Project

Project: Applying Project Management Methodology to Managing Carbon Dioxide Geo-sequestration Program.

Issue statement of Purpose for this research project

The greenhouse gas making the largest contribution to global warming from human activities is carbon dioxide (CO2). Hence there have been concerted efforts to stabilize the atmospheric CO2 concentrations. A wide range of energy and carbon management technologies are available to reduce the emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) is one of the available technological options for the reduction of CO2 emissions from large point sources such as fossil fuel power plants and liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing plants. This project reviews the application of PMBOK technique, one of the project management tool, in the execution of CO2 sequestration projects.

Background

Over last several years, there has been a consistent issue regarding the rising concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse emissions created from human activities.These emissions have a far-reaching impact on the global environment.

Additionally, to maintain the contaminants of gasses particularly non-renewable types of energy taken power plants, the carbon dioxide sequestration always reveals to be one of the most possible and appropriate options. The process develops to be able to capture the revealed carbon dioxide, transport it to the sequestrated site and to give it gradually to the geological growth.

Presently, many nations around the world are working towards reducing the emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. A broad portfolio of energy and carbon management technologies have been put forward in order to reduce the emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS) is one of the available technological options. The CCS involves the capture of CO2, compression, and transportation of the compressed gas to suitable storage sites, where it is kept permanently. The storage sites may include various deep geological formations such as saline formations, depleted gas fields, oceans and enhanced oil/gas recovery.

Hence, the PMBOK project management method will apply to a CCS project and evaluated for its validity for such projects.

Objective:

• Literature review carbon capture and geosequestration.
• Applyproject management method,PMBOK,to Carbon Dioxide Geo-sequestration project case study project.
