- Assess geological storage sites using reservoir characterization techniques
- Implement MMV (Measurement, Monitoring & Verification) protocols
- Analyze CCS project economics and financing models
- Navigate international CCS regulations and policies
- Develop risk management strategies for CCS operations
- Integrate CCS with hydrogen production and other decarbonization pathways
