RamonCO: Risk-based framework for assessing CO2 storage monitoring
By focusing on CO₂ storage, RamonCO directly addresses TRI3’s primary objective of advancing solutions for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies. However, the project’s results will also be applicable to other types of storage, such as hydrogen, renewable fuels, and underground thermal energy storage (UTES).
As it tackles issues related to authorizing new storage capacity and ensuring containment integrity and compliance during site operations, the project supports TRI3’s aim to fund initiatives that significantly accelerate technology deployment and demonstrate measurable reductions in CO₂ emissions by 2030, while also contributing to climate neutrality by 2050.
RamonCO addresses two of the six research and development areas targeted in the call:
- CO₂ storage sites, including key elements for characterizing and managing large-scale, permanent CO₂ storage, such as storage integrity, monitoring, capacity estimation, and modeling;
- CCUS technologies that are highly important and relevant to the industry.
Additionally, the project addresses three of the nine challenges listed in the call:
- Improving cost and energy efficiency along the value chain (scaling, gigaton storage, efficiency, digital tools, effective collaboration between stakeholders);
- Accelerating the scaling of CO₂ technologies with lower risks (design, demonstrations, legal framework development, measures to strengthen the innovation system, knowledge sharing from full-scale operations, integration into the energy system, etc.);
- Enhancing public acceptance of CCU/CCS.
