The Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Life Cycle (CELiC) Model calculates life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for a CO₂-EOR system, where the user can select one of three sources of the injected CO₂: (1) extracted from a natural dome, (2) captured from a coal-fired power plant, or (3) captured from a natural gas power plant. The model has several parameters and options to allow the assessment of the system for a wide-array of products—electricity, pipeline CO₂, crude oil, and refined fuels. The model is also capable of deterministic (i.e., point estimate) and stochastic (i.e., probabilistic) analyses and finally a deterministic time-series analysis that shows the changing GHG emissions for the CO₂-EOR system over time.
