To achieve significant reductions in CO2 emissions through Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) by 2030, it is essential to integrate technical, economic, societal, and environmental disciplines. This holistic approach will support decision-making processes related to permitting and ensuring containment and conformance during the execution of CCS projects.

The CETP (Clean Energy Technology Partnership) project, RamonCO, focuses on three critical research areas pertinent to CO2 monitoring:

  1. the field-scale application of multi-physics data modeling and inversion,
  2. multi-dimensional decision support,
  3. governance strategies for managing risks associated with CCS.

RamonCO Project

The project’s primary objective is to develop multi-dimensional robust conformance assessment methodology and advance risk-based monitoring and societal implementation strategies. Specific goals include:

  • Establishing a framework for determining site-specific detection thresholds using field-scale, multi-physics, multi-modal, and multi-scale data types.
  • Developing and testing an inversion framework for the field-scale analysis of multi-physics monitoring data.
  • Creating and implementing a methodology to incorporate societal and environmental risks into standard risk evaluation tools and assessments.
  • Developing and applying a framework for risk-based value-of-information (VoI) analysis concerning CO2 storage monitoring.
