OUR APPROACH 

 

For nearly 20 years, Battelle has developed carbon management strategies and solutions to address the climate change challenge. From determining the extent of current CO2 emissions from a specific plant and candidate reduction strategies and developing effective process designs for economic carbon capture, to transporting captured CO2, geologically sequestrating it and providing long-term monitoring and verification that support the transactions between generators and new owners of sequestered CO2, Battelle provides technical services in support of industry-wide, company-specific and individual plant strategies.
