Carbon capture and storage research
Second author: Potential of CO2-EOR for Near-Term Decarbonization
-
- In this paper in Frontiers in Climate, Vanessa Núñez-López and I describe using enhanced oil recovery (EOR) as a tactic to fight climate change.
- Won the Bureau of Economic Geology’s 2019 Publication Award
- Featured in a Vox.com article which described the paper as “the best technical rundown of EOR and its CO2 mitigating potential” as well as cited in a Politico opinion piece, “the full EOR process (including the burning of the oil) can potentially lower atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.”
