The Center for Applied Environmental Science

The Center for Applied Environmental Science seeks to advance environmental justice by ensuring that communities and environmental advocates have access to high-quality science and engineering expertise. By providing this access, which is a critical element in permitting and siting decisions, legal challenges, and rulemaking efforts, we support disproportionately impacted communities as they seek more power to influence environmental decisions that affect their health and quality of life.

WEBINAR

CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE (CCS)

RISKS OF CO LEAKAGE FROM GEOLOGICAL RESERVOIRS AND PIPELINES

Billions of federal dollars are accelerating carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon transport technologies, raising the prospect of commercial-scale CCS hubs in several parts of the country. Will a massive CCS scale-up combat climate change or prove to be another false solution? This webinar session will provide an overview of two categories of technical risks associated with CCS: CO2 leakage from the storage reservoir and during transport via pipeline.

Join us for:

  • Detailed look at Class VI injection well permit requirements
  • Understanding CO2 leakage risk via abandoned wells
  • Potential impacts of CO2 and brine leakage during CCS
  • Risk of corrosion failures in CO2 pipelines
  • Suitability of existing gas pipelines for reuse for CO2 transport
