Onshore CCUS capability architecture

What we do

Germany’s specialist onshore CCUS boutique: qualify the pathway, control the interfaces, advance the next decision.

CarbonCore turns a German onshore CCUS ambition into a controlled development route, with explicit assumptions, accountable workstreams and evidence-led gates.

Operating premise

Not a generalist engineering office. A specialist system between disciplines.

A German onshore CCUS project becomes executable only when source requirements, storage evidence, permitting logic, transport assumptions and commercial boundaries converge on the same basis.

CarbonCore defines that common system. As a specialist boutique for onshore CCUS in Germany, the platform creates the project architecture, integrates specialist capability and maintains the evidence state across the development cycle.

01 · Opportunity qualification

Is there a credible route?

Industrial need, source profile, regional context, storage route options, infrastructure timing, evidence maturity, decisive technical risks and board-level decision horizon.

02 · Integrated CCS development

What must work together?

Capture boundary, CO₂ specification, transport mode, storage acceptance envelope, permitting logic, commercial model and source-to-storage delivery sequence.

03 · Storage and subsurface

What evidence supports the pathway?

Screening, basin and formation context, injectivity, containment, pressure management, well architecture, MMV logic, integrity and uncertainty management.

04 · Project integration

Who owns each interface?

Responsibility matrix, technical basis, interface register, evidence map, integrated schedule, review architecture and decision governance.

05 · Engineering and delivery support

How does the concept become executable?

Work packages, partner mobilisation, requirements management, design reviews, delivery controls and integration support at critical interfaces.

06 · Operations and lifecycle

How is performance sustained?

Monitoring, integrity, operating interfaces, data continuity, MMV evidence, optimisation and lifecycle decision support.

Control model

What CarbonCore leads.

  • The customer problem definition, project boundary and realistic onshore development horizon.
  • Opportunity qualification, storage pathway logic and the minimum evidence needed for route credibility.
  • The integrated source-to-storage concept and the critical interface architecture behind it.
  • Technical quality, evidence status, review discipline and decision readiness.
  • Commercial progression, partner logic and the route to the next board or investment gate.
  • Specialist partner integration around named workstream owners and explicit accountability.

Next decision

Start with the decision that controls the onshore pathway.

Use a focused discussion to test source-to-storage fit, identify the interfaces that control progress and define the evidence required for the next investment decision.
