Carbon Nanofiber Commerical Demonstration
Carbon nanofibers (CNF) are ultrathin, pure carbon fibers that are 10 times stronger than steel. CNF has multiple markets due to strength enhancement and electrical and thermal conductivity properties; three key market segments are construction materials (cement), lithium-ion batteries (LiB), and plastic composites. However, CNF usage has been limited due to high cost and carbon…

Effective monitoring of long-term site stability for transparent carbon capture and storage hazard assessment
ENSURE will demonstrate the use of microseismic monitoring for seal integrity verification for large-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects. Microseismic events provide direct insights into CO2 migration within the storage reservoir and potential caprock integrity challenges within the overburden. This goal will be achieved by developing advanced analysis tools and comparing data, existing and…

Reusing depleted oil and gas fields for CO2 sequestration
The RETURN project will focus on enabling CO2 injection and storage into depleted oil and gas reservoirs for long-term CO2 storage by developing novel solutions for overcoming injection challenges. Currently, high-pressure CO2 injection into low-pressure depleted reservoirs can be challenging due to cooling and potential freezing in the near-well region, jeopardizing injectivity, near-well stability, and…
