Carbon capture and storage
Researchers have developed a low-cost carbon capture technology called PICC that uses only water and pressure to remove nearly all CO2 from industrial exhaust, offering a simpler, cleaner, and more affordable alternative to traditional chemical methods.
Allison Taylor, SPE, is studying whether nanogels can improve how gas, specifically CO2, is stored underground during CO2 flooding operations.
The 1-month project, led by UT Austin's Estibalitz Ukar, will pump CO2-rich water into a 400-m-deep well to test if magnesium-rich rocks at the test site can capture CO2 by turning it into stable minerals.

After a decade of research, the project boasts several achievements including drilling two test wells at depths below 9,800 ft, detailed geologic modeling and reservoir characterization, and multiple publications. -
The program will train more than 1,200 workers across Canada for careers in carbon capture, utilization, and storage.
