CARBON CLUSTERS LINKED TO STORAGE (CCLSTR) - CLUSTER HUBS : MAKES SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MODEL 
Renewables alone are not enough, to combat climate change; need CCS with new innovative business models. CCS projects span beyond oil & gas value chain to other energy intensive industry (power, steel, cement, fertilizers etc.)

𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬 & 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦
Need to think beyond renewables; i.e. carbon avoidance and carbon removal. That means accelerating and upscaling of carbon capture and storage, starting now.

Focus to date is on Regulations & Technology, but not on scaling up CCS or its business models:

1-CCS is across industries ( Capture, Transport & Storage), requires community solution by ”economies of scale.”

2-CCUS is Not “economies of scope,” i.e. focus only on a speciality (ex: capture), which is the current industry trend & focus.

1-Move to BASIN-WIDE solutions; sources & sinks (CCLSTR)

• Plants & processes can be pooled: - refineries, petrochemical, gas processing, LNG, power and metals refineries & smelters.
• The CO₂ is transported en masse to geological storage sites (depleted oil or saline aquifers).
• Existing pipeline infrastructure connecting the point source to storage.

2-CCSLSTR can play a vital role in economies of scale

3-CCS LSTR/Hubs is a 3-step approach:
    i) Basic Data: Science Driven - Technical & Data driven & skills 
    ii) Venture Shaping: Business Driven/Skill - Multiple Interfaces/coordination (complexity)
    iii) Asset Development: Engineering & project management Driven/ Skills

𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 

• Basin-wide carbon capture is the quintessential complex venture problem.
• Data to screen CCLSTR opportunities gives parties common ground to advance basin-wide CCS. 
• Stakeholders can use the data on specific clusters and specific assets,
• Calculate their emissions & map them to specific storage sites and right geological properties.
