The problem

Without CO2 storage & plume monitoring, energy transition teams rely on sampling and after-the-fact review, while the signals in monitoring data sit unread, so problems surface only after the loss, incident or complaint.

How it works

CO2 storage & plume monitoring monitors CO2 plume and storage integrity. The approach relies on ML on monitoring data. It draws on monitoring data and is typically owned by energy transition teams. The main constraint is long-term liability. Where the human comes in: storage engineers and regulators decide. It is at pilot stage, with documented pilots or single deployments; examples include Northern Lights; Sleipner.
