NETL Develops Methods and Tools to Estimate Prospective CO2 Storage in the Subsurface
A CO2 Injection WellNETL has developed a tool to better predict carbon dioxide (CO2) storage potential in geologic formations.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) selected five projects to receive approximately $10.7 million in federal funding for cost-shared research and development. The projects will advance tools and methods for assessing the state of stress and geomechanical impacts within the subsurface associated with underground carbon storage. The projects are supported through the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001826, Developing Technologies to Advance the Understanding of State of Stress and Geomechanical Impacts within the Subsurface.
Funding Opportunity Announcement
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) has selected three projects to receive approximately $29.6 million for cost-shared research and development under Phase II of funding opportunity announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001450, Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE): Storage Complex Feasibility.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) has announced up to $9 million in federal funding for cost-shared research and development projects under the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001829, Developing Technologies for Advancement of Associated Geologic Storage in Basinal Geo-Laboratories.
MRCSP
The NETL-managed Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP), led by Battelle, has achieved an important milestone by safely and permanently storing one million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into a series of depleted oil fields in northern Michigan, leading to the production of a significant volume of oil that would have otherwise been left behind.

The team’s product, the National Risk Assessment Partnership Toolset, was designated as one of the top 100 technologies of the year.
An innovative computational toolkit developed by the Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), in collaboration with a team from other national laboratories, has been recognized by R&D Magazine as one of the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace in the past year.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has collaborated with industry in cost-sharing arrangements to advance the next generation of technologies that will capture carbon from industrial sources and either store or beneficially re-use them. Some of these technologies have advanced to a scale that can be readily replicated and deployed into industry.
Offshore Rig
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy (FE) has selected two projects to receive $8 million in federal funding to assess offshore geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) and technology development in the Gulf of Mexico. Offshore geologic storage involves capturing CO2 from a stationary emissions source, transporting the captured CO2 to an offshore site, and injecting it into a geologic formation deep beneath the seabed, where it remains safely stored and isolated from the ocean water.
