CPG Consortium
CO2-Plume Geothermal (CPG) Energy Research and Demonstration Consortium
Following extensive theoretical research, the next step is demonstrating CPG in the field. For this reason, a CPG Consortium has been formed in March, 2023. Leveraging the synergies of an end-to-end integrated academic and industry consortium, CPG systems can be investigated and efficiently field-demonstrated at reduced individual partner cost.
The objective of the CPG consortium is to demonstrate the potential and technical feasibility of commercial-scale CPG to enable Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) on subsequent commercial scale projects.
In Phase I of the consortium, a CPG field demonstration is prepared to demonstrate the technical feasibility of CPG. We are investigating both the overall CPG potential, using our in-house techno-economic simulator, as well as detailed site evaluation studies for candidate field demonstrations. We also investigate facility and equipment optimization opportunities and CO2 processing requirements. Following this two-year Phase I, the consortium will select the optimal site and field demonstration concept to execute during the subsequent Phase II of the consortium.
