Our Software: CostMAPPRO
CostMAPPRO is an advanced routing software that identifies cost-effective routes for energy, transportation, and communication infrastructureโincluding pipelines, transmission lines, roads, railroads, and data cablesโwhile minimizing environmental and societal impacts.
For CO2 capture and storage (CCS), CostMAPPRO enables rapid and accurate identification of optimal pipeline routes, linking emission sources with storage locations, while optimizing pipeline diameters and minimizing costs, ensuring efficient CO2 transportation and project success. CostMAPPRO has helped route pipelines for multiple energy applications including CO2, hydrogen, and natural gas, as well as transportation and communication infrastructure such as roads, railroads, and data cables.
CostMAPPRO provides multiple onshore and offshore pipeline route options that achieve a balance between cost, project logistics, and environmental considerations. By minimizing risks such as road crossings and CO2 plume dispersion, we aim to support the development of safe, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure solutions.

Our Features
With CostMAPPRO, you can optimize your carbon capture and storage infrastructure efficiently and effectively.
CostMAPPRO identifies optimal routes with estimated construction and operating costs, pipeline diameters, and other engineering specifications. Identified routes can minimize costs and risks such as CO2 leakage impacts.
With CostMAPPRO, you can streamline your workflow and visualize the entire process of linking emission sources to storage locations. Its intuitive interface and comprehensive features make it easy to analyze and optimize your carbon capture and storage infrastructure.
CostMAPPRO integrates multiple layers of physical, economic, and societal data to inform infrastructure decisions. Custom data layers, such as avoiding river crossings, sensitive lands, or schools, can be incorporated to meet specific project needs.
Pipeline Routing and Feasibility Assessment
CostMAPPRO plays a central role in Carbon Solutionsโ Pipeline Routing and Feasibility Assessment service, helping identify the most efficient and cost-effective routes for CO2 transportation.
Transmission Line Routing
CostMAPPRO supports the development of transmission lines essential to the energy transition by evaluating cost, social impact, and environmental considerations.
