Developing DOE CarbonSAFE CO2 Geologic Storage Sites

GTI Energy, along with our subsidiary Projeo Corporation, is leading a team on a DOE Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) Phase II project in Sutter County to determine the storage complex feasibility of the central Sacramento basin in northern California. Developing CO₂ geologic storage sites is crucial to enable large-scale CO₂ emissions reduction.

The effort will drill a new stratigraphic test well to obtain needed characterization data to assess technical and economic feasibility assess the subsurface and CO₂ storage potential.

This project will demonstrate the viability of more widespread adoption of CO₂ capture and storage in similar formations across the Sacramento basin by clarifying projects risks, planning mitigation/monitoring and transport, analyzing contractual and regulatory requirements, and developing future work plans and UIC Class VI applications.

In addition, Projeo is leading The Phoenix Project in the Permian basin of West Texas, and GTI Energy will be collaborating on this initiative. The project intends to demonstrate the feasibility of safely converting a mature oil and gas field into a dedicated CO₂ storage facility with a study of subsurface conditions, detailed site characterization, planning, and permitting.
