Feasibility of Carbon Dioxide Storage Resource Use within Climate Change Mitigation Scenarios for the United States.

ABSTRACT: To progress decarbonization in the United States, numerous techno-economic models that project CO₂ storage deployment at annual injection rates of 0.3-1.7 Gt year^-1 by 2050 have been built. However, these models do not consider many geological, technical, or socio-economic factors that could impede the growth of geological storage resource use, and there is uncertainty about the feasibility of the resulting projections. Here, we evaluate storage scenarios across four major modeling efforts. We apply a growth modeling framework using logistic curves to analyze the feasibility of growth trajectories under constraints imposed by the associated storage resource availability. We show that storage resources are abundant, and resources of the Gulf Coast alone would be suffic
