𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛ᴾᴿᴼ

Project Overview

Title: 𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛ᴾᴿᴼ: Unlocking the Nation’s Subsurface to Support the Energy Transition

Carbon Solutions has developed a new software package called 𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛ᴾᴿᴼ that rapidly and accurately screens for CO₂ storage, CO₂-geothermal, and energy storage opportunities. 𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛ᴾᴿᴼ uses a unique and transformational approach to simulate CO₂ sequestration in saline aquifers that couples the dynamic physics of CO₂ injection and storage associated with full-physics models with the speed of an integrated assessment model. 𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛ᴾᴿᴼ is a fast-running, machine learning tool trained using tens of thousands reservoir model simulations. 𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛ᴾᴿᴼ can be used standalone to review storage sites, or in tandem with 𝘚𝘪𝘮𝘊𝘊𝘚ᴾᴿᴼ for a full perspective on CO₂ capture, transport, and storage. 𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛ᴾᴿᴼ is able to rapidly evaluate potential CO₂ storage sites, including accurate screening-level storage capacities, injection rates, number of wells, and integrated sequestration costs. The tool has advanced, unmatched capabilities, including:

• Dynamic CO₂ storage capacity, injection rates, and plume evolution.
• Advanced sequestration economics.
• Detailed uncertainty and sensitivity analysis.
• Market assessment and project feasibility calculations.

𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛ᴾᴿᴼ has appeared in half-a-dozen peer-reviewed journal papers. See the links to the papers below to learn more. And reach out anytime if you would like a copy of any of the papers.

Carbon Solutions has produced the first-ever nationwide estimates of realistic CO₂ storage potential and sequestration costs using the 𝘚𝘊𝘖₂𝘛 software and proprietary sequestration geology.
