In addition to conducting research and providing technical assistance on projects, the MRCI works as a resource for those operating in the growing CCUS arena by sharing news and information in a timely fashion with our partners and supporters.
Testing EOR and CO2 Storage in the Carbonate Reservoirs of Southern Michigan Webinar
View a webinar presented by Battelle exploring how chemically enhanced CO₂-EOR can improve oil recovery in the challenging Trenton-Black River heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs of the Southern Michigan Basin and act as a forerunner to permanent carbon sequestration. Drawing on a six-year, U.S. Department of Energy-funded field program led by Battelle, the presentation highlights how advanced
CO₂ storage in the Mid-Atlantic Offshore CO₂ Region and Multimodal Transport in the Central Appalachian Basin Webinar Recordings
CO₂ storage in the Mid-Atlantic Offshore CO₂ Region and Multimodal Transport in the Central Appalachian Basin Join us for a webinar examining the feasibility and infrastructure for carbon storage in the offshore Mid-Atlantic and optimization and designing a multi-modal CO₂ transport hub in the Central Appalachian Basin Region of the United States! Brought to you by researchers
Final Technical Report for CO2 Pipeline Study in Central Appalachian Basin Available! (CO2NNECTION)
CO2 transport is important to simplify and optimize CCUS and provide storage options for sources in areas where storage options are limited; however, pipeline transport is not always the best option for transport. The paper presents the optimization and design of an intermodal transport hub in the Central Appalachian Basin Region of the United States
MRCI Final Reports Available!
Battelle recently submitted the Final Reports for the Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative (MRCI) to the U.S. Department of Energy. These reports document five-plus years of work evaluating and facilitating carbon dioxide storage in the midwestern and northeastern United States by the MRCI research team. The Final Technical Report – a summary of the program –
