Transport Infrastructure for Carbon Capture and Storage

The Great Plains Institute (GPI) and the University of Wyoming’s Jeffrey Brown explore the planning of CO2 transportation networks on a regional scale and ascertains the economic and environmental benefits that can be achieved through economies of scale to meet the US midcentury decarbonization goals.

This paper represents the results of modeling efforts to identifying regional scale CO2 transport infrastructure that would serve existing facilities and allow participation by new capture projects and facilities in the near future.

The Future Economic Contribution of Wyoming's CO2-EOR Potential

After several decades of decline Wyoming’s oil production is now turning higher thanks to higher oil prices, the development of condensates, and investments in tertiary methods such as CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO2-EOR). The present work brings together two prior pieces of research by integrating the economic impact model of Cook (2013a) with the scoping estimates of Wyoming’s CO2-EOR potential found in Cook (2013b). The hope is that discussing the potential economic contribution of CO2-EOR will help inform industry participants and policy makers for the further development of CO2 infrastructure in the state.
