For over a decade, the United States Department of Energy, and engineers, geologists, and scientists from all over the world have investigated the potential for reducing atmospheric carbon emissions through carbon sequestration. Numerous reports exist analyzing the potential for sequestering carbon dioxide at various sites around the globe, but none have identified the potential for a statewide system in Florida, USA. In 2005, 83% of Florida's electrical energy was produced by natural gas, coal, or oil (e.g., fossil fuels), from power plants spread across the state. In addition, only limited research has been completed on evaluating optimal pipeline transportation networks to centralized carbon dioxide repositories. This paper describes the feasibility and preliminary locations for an optimal centralized Florida-wide carbon sequestration repository. Linear programming optimization modeling is used to plan and route an idealized pipeline network to existing Florida power plants. Further analysis of the subsurface geology in these general locations will provide insight into the suitability of the subsurface conditions and the available capacity for carbon sequestration at selected possible repository sites. The identification of the most favorable site(s) is also presented.
十多年来，美国能源部以及来自世界各地的工程师、地质学家和科学家一直在研究通过碳封存来减少大气碳排放的潜力。有许多报告分析了在全球各个地点封存二氧化碳的潜力，但没有一份报告确定了在美国佛罗里达州建立全州系统的潜力。2005 年，佛罗里达州 83%的电力是由天然气、煤炭或石油（即化石燃料）在全州范围内的发电厂产生的。此外，对于评估将二氧化碳输送到集中式储存库的最佳管道运输网络的研究还很有限。本文描述了在佛罗里达州建立一个最佳的集中式碳封存储存库的可行性和初步选址。线性规划优化模型被用来规划和为现有的佛罗里达发电厂设计一个理想的管道网络。对这些一般位置的地下地质情况进行进一步分析，可以深入了解地下条件的适宜性和在选定的可能储存库地点进行碳封存的可用容量。还提出了最有利的地点（多个）的识别。
