Carbon Storage Services
Your Go-To Experts for All Things CO2 Storage
Our experience combines commercial geotechnical competence with the ability to handle the unique safety demands of injecting carbon dioxide into the earth for permanence. Battelle maintains a deep understanding of the evolving policies, financial incentives and regulations that are shaping this industry. We have a credible reputation with governing bodies in every state and at the federal level. We work at developing those relationships to help our customers navigate permitting and other regulatory processes. In addition, Battelle has a history of success with government funding applications and can assist its customers in attaining these where desired.
Full Lifecycle Storage Solutions
Our flexible business models for saline storage projects include service provider, partner and a fully outsourced ownership solution. We start by evaluating all aspects of project feasibility, risk and cost. With our unique site design process and deep understanding of the evolving regulatory environment we are able to expedite class VI and other permitting steps. Sites are then constructed and operated through to closure including all monitoring and filing requirements along the way. In addition, we can handle the monetization of 45Q tax credits along with capital needs and other elements of the business case.
Feasibility
Determine if a site has geologic and economic potential for carbon storage.
Preliminary Modeling
Static and dynamic models using existing data
Characterization and Permitting
Collection of new data as needed (i.e. drill data well, acquire seismic), detailed modeling using new data, and permit applications
Construction
Design and build the capture and injection systems
Operation and Monitoring
Begin the injection of CO2 and monitor the process

Our Team
Battelle employs the largest "dedicated-saline-carbon-storage" team in the industry. Cumulatively, this team has over 500 years of commercial and subsurface experience along with advanced geoscience and engineering degrees from top universities. Additionally, we have a team of more than 25 similar staff running government-sponsored CCS programs and can draw from hundreds of related scientists within our broader organization and through our management of US national labs. These experts are seamlessly integrated into project teams using controls and quality management systems to ensure efficient and effective carbon storage services in projects of any size and complexity.
History and Experience
Battelle's Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) services have played a major role in key U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiatives and projects since the mid-1990s. Early government program involvement has steadily progressed into a commercial program covering all facets of the CO2 storage lifecycle.
Battelle collectively has managed and safely executed more than 100 Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. Our projects, while primarily throughout all regions of North America, also include international collaborative efforts and have incorporated unique public-private partnerships.

Darlene Zybala
GeologistDarlene began her professional career in 2005 as a Petroleum Geoscientist at ExxonMobil. After 15 years in the Oil & Gas Industry she made a career transition into subsurface characterization for carbon sequestration projects at Battelle. Over the years, Darlene has worked both onshore and offshore well and seismic subsurface datasets in the US and throughout the world. Darlene holds a Bachelor’s of Geology from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a Master’s of Geoscience from the UNLV. -
Richard Parker, PhD
Commercial Monitoring and Technology ManagerRichard began his career in 1991 with Schlumberger as a geophysicist in the wireline division. Since then, he has held various technical, supervisory and management positions and for the last five years has had technical oversight for wireline geophysics in the Western Hemisphere. He has worked with many of the early North American CCUS demonstration and commercial projects in addition to international projects. Richard holds a Master’s of Science in Exploration Geophysics from the University of Leeds, UK.
