Publication Overview

The Joint Network Meeting co-ordinates all four of the geological storage networks: Risk Assessment; Monitoring; Modelling; and Wellbore Integrity; and the Environmental Impacts of CO2 Storage Workshop Series. The 2nd IEAGHG Joint Storage Network meeting was held from the 19th to the 21st of June 2012 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. It was hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory and sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Schlumberger Carbon Services. Sixty-eight delegates attended, representing 11 different countries. The aims of the meeting were to:

  • Ensure the Networks are working in the most efficient way without duplication or gaps,
  • Identify cross-cutting issues and their consequences; requiring input from more than one network,
  • Set the framework for the future direction of the networks.

Publication Summary

The common needs recognised throughout the workshop include systematic iterative links between risk assessment (including monitoring and WBI), monitoring, verification and best practices, dealing with uncertainty, consequences and mitigation plans, and defining criteria, thresholds and acceptable deviations from trends.

An overall conclusion that can be drawn from the meeting is that, with a maturing regulatory environment, the technical knowledge and methods now exist in the area of storage so that there seem to be no significant technical barriers to projects meeting the requirements from the fairly stringent regulations in place in many regions. The IEAGHG Research Networks have contributed to this move from research to application. And finally, the Research Networks are highly appreciated by their members who wish them all to continue.

CO2 Transport and Storage Cost Review

  • 9 October 2025
  • Costs of CCUS
  • Storage
  • Transport

The objective of the study was to review publicly available information on CO2 transport and storage (T&S) costs, to provide insights into how typical cost estimates are built up and to inform on areas of risk. Current information on T&S costs and the need for new or improved data would be explored.

  • Costs of CCUS
  • Event Proceedings

IEAGHG’s 8th CCS Cost Network Workshop, hosted by Bechtel at their Energy Headquarters in Houston, the so-called Energy Capital of the World, took place on March 5–6, 2025. This invitation-only, in-person gathering convened around 50 leading experts from industry and academia, fostering a highly interactive forum for in-depth discussions on advancing real-world cost estimation across the CCS value chain. The workshop was opened with welcoming remarks from Bechtel’s Bill Elliot, Operations Manager, ET, and George Whittaker, CCUS Operations Manager, which set the scene for a workshop focused on sharing expertise, challenging assumptions, and identifying practical pathways to lower CCS costs.
