The Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative (MRCI) is the next iteration of the US Department of Energy-sponsored MRCSP and MGSC Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (RCSP) program and is a structured five-year initiative designed to accelerate CCUS acceptance and deployment in the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states in the US. The program is led by co-Principal Investigators, Dr. Neeraj Gupta from Battelle and Dr. Sallie Greenberg from the Illinois State Geological Survey. Comprised of team members from multiple state geological surveys, academic institutions, and industry, and backed by more than 20 years of experience in the field, the initiative works to connect science, technology, and research to advance the field of CCUS in its 20-state region.
