“…The US storage resource base considered in the Net Zero America report was based on an analysis by Teletzke et al (2018). In their assessment of storage resources, they applied a series of restrictions, including technical and cost-related filters to the initial USGS 8 first order estimate of storage resource (3000 Gt) and identified 506 Gt of storage resource.…”

“…However, accounting for geophysical considerations such as pressure increase upon injection, subsequent storage resource assessment suggests the onshore storage resource may be significantly less. For example, Teletzke et al 10 estimate of 506 Gt ,which they refer to as the practicable storage resource base for the US, this more conservative estimate is only 8-17% of the initial first order estimates by the USGS 8 and DOE 9 . Nonetheless, this significantly downscaled resource base is still sufficiently abundant to sustain a large-scale CO2 storage industry nationally.…”

To help decarbonisation the United States, numerous techno-economic models have projected scenarios including CO2 storage deployment at annual injection rates of 0.3 – 1.1 Gt yr-1 by 2050. However, these projections do not often include the availability of geological storage resource base and socio-economic factors that could limit the technological growth of CCS. Here, we apply a logistic modelling framework to evaluate CO2 storage scenarios proposed in the Net Zero America, Carbon Neutral Pathways, and the Long-Term Strategy report. Our modelling framework allows us to analyse the feasibility of growth trajectories under constraints imposed by the associated storage resource availability. We show that scaleup is not limited by the availability of storage resources, given that the entire demand can be accommodated by the resources available in the Gulf Coast alone. Deployment trajectories require annual growth >10% nationally and between 3% - 18% regionally across four storage hubs. These scale-up rates are high relative to those characterising analogous, large-scale energy infrastructure projects (9%), suggesting that modelled projections in current reports are too aggressive in their deployment of CCS. These models could be easily constrained to more realistic deployment trajectories with the type of modelling framework used herein.

“…The US-DOE approach estimates CO 2 storage volume based on geological parameters such as formation area, thickness, and porosity [16,17,36]. Some articles such as the work of Teletzke et al [37] criticize the DOE method or the Goodman method. However, the DOE method is the most comprehensive and well-documented storage method available at this time.…”

The geological storage of CO2 in the Earth’s subsurface has the potential to significantly offset greenhouse gas emissions for safe, economical, and acceptable public use. Due to legal advantages and vast resource capacity, offshore CO2 storage provides an attractive alternative to onshore options. Although offshore Lower Cretaceous reservoirs have a vast expected storage capacity, there is a limited quantitative assessment of the offshore storage resource in the southeastern United States. This work is part of the Southeast Offshore Storage Resource Assessment (SOSRA) project, which presents a high-quality potential geological repository for CO2 in the Mid- and South Atlantic Planning Areas. This is the first comprehensive investigation and quantitative assessment of CO2 storage potential for the Lower Cretaceous section of the outer continental shelf that includes the Southeast Georgia Embayment and most of the Blake Plateau. An interpretation of 200,000 km of legacy industrial 2D seismic reflection profiles and geophysical well logs (i.e., TRANSCO 1005-1-1, COST GE-1, and EXXON 564-1) were utilized to create structure and thickness maps for the potential reservoirs and seals. We identified and assessed three target reservoirs isolated by seals based on their effective porosity values. The CO2 storage capacity of these reservoirs was theoretically calculated using the DOE-NETL equation for saline formations. The prospective storage resources are estimated between 450 and 4700 Mt of CO2, with an offshore geological efficiency factor of dolomite between 2% and 3.6% at the formation scale.

“…Finally, both BECCS and DACCS deployment could provide mitigation benefits by compensating for a relatively high amount (i.e., 75 Mt CO2e) (see the supplemental information for the supporting calculation) of hard-to-abate emissions per year in California, 131 which also has substantial and proximate deep saline geologic storage capacity along the Central Valley. 83,132 New Mexico A large-scale NETs deployment is unlikely to be a valuable strategy in New Mexico.…”

“…[94][95][96] However, as New Mexico has limited CO 2 deep saline geologic storage capacity, this benefit is limited. 132 This limitation also affects the potential for DACCS deployment. Although the state's lack of geothermal reserves and industrial waste heat reduces the potential for efficient LT DAC systems, 87 it could be possible to deploy HT DAC systems by converting some portion of the natural gas fleet into combined heat and power plants with carbon capture to power DAC.…”
