Tulare County Carbon Storage Project (TCCSP). TCCSP will focus on two main objectives. The first is acquiring site-specific characterization data to validate carbon dioxide (CO2) storage estimates of reservoir units and the competency of confining layers in the region to prevent CO2 leakage to develop a commercial-scale CO2 project furthering commercial-scale carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) deployment.

The second objective is assessing, developing, and implementing a community benefits plan by assessing technical, economic, regulatory, and stakeholder aspects of the TCCSP. These tasks will allow TCCSP to meet the CarbonSAFE Phase II objectives by performing a site-specific characterization of the project area and supporting the overarching goal of the DOE's Carbon Transport and Storage Program to enable and support the rapid, widespread deployment CCUS to help address the nation's decarbonization goals.

CARBONSAFE IS A RESEARCH AND DEMONSTRATION INITIATIVE UNDER WHICH DOE PROVIDES FUNDING FOR RESEARCH AND DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS TO COLLECT AND VALIDATE INFORMATION ON THE COST AND FEASIBILITY OF COMMERCIAL DEPLOYMENT OF LARGE-SCALE CARBON SEQUESTRATION TECHNOLOGIES. CARBONSAFE PHASE II: STORAGE COMPLEX FEASIBILITY SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THE DOE’S CARBON TRANSPORT AND STORAGE PROGRAM TO ENABLE AND SUPPORT THE RAPID, WIDESPREAD DEPLOYMENT OF CARBON CAPTURE, UTILIZATION, AND STORAGE (CCUS) TO HELP ADDRESS THE NATION’S DECARBONIZATION GOALS. CARBONSAFE PHASE II ALSO SUPPORTS ANOTHER OVERARCHING GOAL OF ASSESSING GEOLOGIC CARBON STORAGE RESOURCES ALONG THE PATHWAY OF BECOMING CONTINGENT STORAGE RESOURCES, AS CLASSIFIED UNDER THE CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) STORAGE RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SRMS). SPECIFICALLY, THIS FOA SEEKS RESEARCH IN THE FORM OF CARBONSAFE PHASE II FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENTS FOR ONSHORE PROJECTS WITHIN THE U.S. AND OFFSHORE PROJECTS WITHIN THE U.S. JURISDICTIONAL AREA OF THE GULF OF MEXICO.
