National Risk Assessment Partnership (NRAP)

Geologic Carbon Sequestration

The National Risk Assessment Partnership (NRAP) — an initiative within DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and led by the National Energy Technology Laboratory—applies DOE’s core competency in science-based prediction for engineered–natural systems to the long-term storage of carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Brine Extraction and Storage Test (BEST)

Geologic Carbon Sequestration

The overall objective of the EPRI-led BEST project to be performed at the Lansing Smith electric generating station near Panama City, Florida, is to help develop cost-effective pressure control, plume management and produced water strategies that can be used to improve reservoir storage efficiency and capacity, and demonstrate safe, reliable containment of CO₂ in deep geologic formations with CO₂ permanence of 99% or better.

Off-shore Geologic Carbon Sequestration in the Gulf of Mexico (GoMCarb)

Geologic Carbon Sequestration

LBNL is working with the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) and other partners in the Gulf of Mexico Partnership for Offshore Carbon Storage (GoMCarb) aimed at ensuring safe, long-term, and economically viable offshore storage of carbon in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) region.
