Overview of the Geoanalytical Economic Evaluation of Saline Storage (GEESS) System

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2587271· OSTI ID:2587271

This report provides an overview on the Geoanalytical Economic Evaluation of Saline Storage (GEESS) system which characterized 57 geologic saline formations targeted for geologic carbon storage across the lower-48 U.S. states using publicly available resources. The GEESS system consists of high spatial resolution datasets (up to 5 km grid spacing) that provide key geologic parameters (e.g., depth, thickness, permeability), and estimates of CO2 plume size and CO2 first-year break-even price that were determined by exercising GEESS data through the FECM/NETL CO2 Saline Storage Cost Model (CO2_S_COM). The GEESS geodatabase is available on NETL’s EDX at GEESS Geodatabase.
