Project ACCESS

Atlantic Coast CO2 Emissions Storage Sink (Project ACCESS) — Southern States Energy Board aims to conduct a storage complex feasibility study for potential CO2 storage in South Florida’s carbonate-rich geology to reduce emissions from CO2-emitting industrial facilities. Project ACCESS has sufficient nearby sources of CO2 to meet the CarbonSAFE requirements. The project will employ geophysical methods and a stratigraphic test well to gather site-specific geological data obtained through core samples, geophysical logs, and well testing, subsequently integrated into numerical models to verify the storage site’s suitability. The project will use the collected geological information to create plans for infrastructure, commercial development, monitoring, risk assessment, and outreach tailored to the site.
