Advanced R&D for Carbon Transport & Storage

Research Priority Overview

Advanced R&D for Carbon Transport and Storage is a research priority that focuses on the carbon dioxide-centric aspects of onshore and offshore storage. These include the development of technologies that can improve performance and reduce the cost of tools and techniques to assess wellbore integrity, increase reservoir storage efficiency, improve management of reservoir pressure, confirm permanent storage, and identify and mitigate the potential release of carbon dioxide from all types of storage complexes. The research priority contains six key areas. In addition, Small Business Research projects are funded through this research priority to help ensure carbon capture and storage technologies are cost-effective and commercially available.
