Dan is currently doing research in carbon sequestration, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and clean energy at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Below you can read a state policy position paper I wrote as a result of the early stages of my research into CO2-EOR in Pennsylvania.

Increasing Domestic Petroleum Production, Mitigating Adverse Climate Change, and Creating Green Jobs in Pennsylvania

Below are some background reading information about my current area of research. All a must read!
