Partnering with the University of Oklahoma

We’re proud to serve as a co-PI alongside our partners on the Oklahoma CarbonSAFE project, which was recently awarded $18.7 million in funding from the DOE. This initiative is a key step forward in advancing carbon management efforts in Oklahoma, and we’re excited to see the positive impacts it will bring.

DEI at Carbon Solutions

Marcos Miranda leads the DEI efforts at Carbon Solutions with a commitment to creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. Under his guidance, the DEI committee has championed initiatives like our annual meeting activities, monthly staff spotlight presentations, and other internal sessions that foster inclusivity and awareness across the organization.

Cloud-Based High-Performance Computing Decision-Making Software

Reaction Engineering International (REI) and the project team are developing a next-generation, cloud-based decision-making software platform that integrates a wide variety of tools into a single, easy-to-use application with a web-based user interface, with capabilities to evaluate and optimize project planning, costs, risks, and uncertainty.

Wabash CarbonSAFE

Wabash CarbonSAFE is one of the first six projects awarded for Phase II work by the U.S. Department of Energy. The project will establish the feasibility of developing a storage complex associated with the Wabash Valley Resources facility near Terre Haute, Indiana. The former Wabash integrated gasification combined cycle power plant at this location is being repurposed for hydrogen or ammonia production and will serve as the primary source of CO2 for the storage complex.

CarbonSAFE Illinois Storage Corridor

CarbonSAFE projects aim to address R&D knowledge gaps and develop the technologies needed to deploy commercial scale CO2 storage (50+ million metric tons).

SimWIND: Software to Support Wind Siting and Environmental Challenges

This project is developing a new software package, called SimWIND, to support wind energy planning by balancing (1) natural resource and societal impacts and other environmental factors, (2) wind power generation potential (i.e., wind-generated electricity at any given site), (3) transmission planning and routing, and (4) integration into the electric grid.

PSHAUM: Innovative Energy Storage Technology

Despite exponential growth in utility-scale battery storage in recent years to approximately 1 gigawatt operating capacity, pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) still accounts for over 90% of all utility-scale storage in the U.S. and globally. PSH is a proven, cost-effective technology that is poised for massive expansion throughout the U.S. if the “ΔH challenge” can be solved.

MRCI: Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative

The Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative (MRCI) is a broad coalition of partners dedicated to accelerating the deployment of CCS technologies in the Midwest and Northeastern United States.
