The challenge
CCS projects struggle when screening is fragmented.
Promising CCS opportunities can fail when subsurface, infrastructure, market, regulatory, and financial risks are evaluated in silos.
Subsurface
Capacity, injectivity, containment, and analogues.
Infrastructure
Pipelines, compression, hubs, and source-sink access.
Market & Commercial
CO₂ supply, anchor customers, business model, and revenue potential.
Regulatory
Class VI / Class II pathway, primacy, permitting, and public participation.
Financial
CAPEX, OPEX, 45Q economics, tariffs, and investment readiness.
Platform
Integrated screening for early investment and development decisions.
Stratacore applies a consistent framework across multiple opportunities and regions, helping teams identify value drivers, risks, data gaps, and next steps.
- Five-discipline screening: Subsurface, Infrastructure, Market & Commercial, Regulatory, and Financial
- Regional Screening Decision: GO, HOLD, or NO-GO
- Site-specific readiness status and critical data gaps
- PDF-ready decision-support report
Five-discipline assessment
Project inputs → five assessments → coordinated recommendation.
Subsurface
Capacity, injectivity, containment, storage analogues, and site characterization gaps.
Infrastructure
Pipeline access, compression, hub potential, source-sink access, and routing constraints.
Market & Commercial
CO₂ emitters, anchor customers, 45Q-driven demand, business model, and offtake risks.
Regulatory
Class VI / Class II pathway, primacy, permit status, AOR/MMV, and public participation.
Financial
CAPEX, OPEX, 45Q, tariffs, storage fees, investment returns, and financing limitations.
Example output: five-discipline score table with decision, confidence, and main concern.
Repeatable methodology
Compare opportunities using a consistent decision framework.
The platform supports early-stage screening across multiple regions, concepts, and storage types. It helps users distinguish regional potential from site-specific readiness.
- Opportunity score and discipline-level recommendations
- Regional Screening Decision
- Site-Specific Readiness Status
- Recommended next-phase actions
Sample assessment
Example CCS screening output: Permian Delaware Basin Class VI storage hub.
A sample report demonstrates executive synthesis, five-discipline scoring, and decision-support language generated by Stratacore.
Executive synthesis
From multiple workstreams to one screening recommendation.
The sample assessment separates regional opportunity from site-specific readiness, avoiding premature rejection of promising regions where detailed site data is still maturing.
Example recommendation: Regional Screening GO with Site-Specific Readiness HOLD.

Coverage regions
Focused on active U.S. CCS regions.
Initial coverage emphasizes the Gulf Coast, Permian, Illinois Basin, Wyoming, California, North Dakota, Arizona, and Appalachian opportunities.
Current focus: Texas Gulf Coast | Louisiana | Permian Basin | Illinois Basin | Wyoming | North Dakota | California | Arizona | Appalachian Basin

Screening-level decision support
Stratacore does not replace site-specific engineering, geological characterization, Class VI permitting, legal review, or investment-grade cost estimation. It supports earlier, more consistent opportunity screening.
