Pathways to CO2 Utilization and Storage for the Intermountain West Region

Abstract

The presentation, delivered at the 2022 Carbon Management Project Review Meeting held in Pittsburgh, PA (August 15 – 19, 2022), provides a detailed perspective on CO2 utilization and storage as a deep decarbonization pathway as it relates to states that make up the Intermountain West (I-WEST) region of the U.S. Content within shows findings from evaluation of the opportunity and potential value delivery that exists for CCUS to deploy at significant scale in the I-WEST region considering the region’s prominent enabling factors. This work is part of a larger initiative involving the development of a regional, stakeholder-informed technology “roadmap” for a sustainable and equitable transition to carbon neutral in the I-WEST.
