Our Software: SimCCSPRO
SimCCSPRO is the industry-leading software for integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure design, ranging from single source-sink matching to nationwide CCS optimization. SimCCSPRO includes transportation algorithms and costs for pipelines, barges and ships, trucks, and rail.
SimCCSPRO is a state-of-the-art framework for designing CO2 capture, transportation, and storage systems. It evaluates the entire value chain, providing actionable insights to support efficient and effective decision-making.
SimCCSPRO goes beyond a single-solution offering and evaluates the entire value chain of carbon capture, transportation, and storage, providing critical insights for decision-making.
SimCCSPRO has earned two prestigious R&D 100 awards and has been prominently featured in numerous scientific publications, with thousands of citations recognizing its contributions to advancing CCS technology.
How It Works
SimCCSPRO is a unique and powerful software package that designs CCS infrastructure by identifying optimal sources and sinks linked through a realistic pipeline network. The advanced algorithms and databases help uncover economic and engineering designs that maximize carbon management while minimizing costs and risks.
SimCCSPRO integrates CO2NCORD software to evaluate facility-level capture opportunities, analyzing capturable CO2 streams, capture costs, lifecycle analysis, and other co-benefits including pollution reduction.
SimCCSPRO uses CostMAPPRO to identify potential pipeline corridors, balancing cost efficiency with risk reduction by considering factors such as population, topography, land cover, land ownership, sensitive areas, and existing rights-of-way (ROWs). It also includes intermodal options for road, rails, and inland and offshore shipping.
SimCCSPRO leverages SCO2TPRO software to calculate ideal locations to develop CO2 storage infrastructure based on storage potential and sequestration costs.
Information Hub
SimCCSPRO has been applied to dozens of low-carbon energy projects for industry, government, and nonprofit clients, driving innovation and successful CCS implementation.
