Summary/Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) Initiative seeks to address gaps in experience and knowledge on how to safely characterize and monitor large-scale geologic CO2 storage sites. The CarbonSAFE Initiative consists (as of November 2019) of 13 projects in Phase I: Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Pre‐Feasibility and six projects in Phase II: Storage Complex Feasibility. This article provides an overview of the CarbonSAFE initiative and includes updates on these projects.
