Unicamp and PETRONAS Brazil Research Carbon Storage Techniques and Geology
A research project led by Guilherme Daniel Avansi from Unicamp's CEPETRO aims to reduce uncertainties in CO₂ storage. Funded by PETRONAS Brazil, the project started in May 2025 and focuses on depleted oil reservoirs and saline aquifers in Brazil. The study involves Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology for long-term geological confinement of CO₂, addressing challenges in model development and risk management. This multidisciplinary effort also supports climate commitments and has applications in various high CO₂ emission industries.

A research initiative by Guilherme Daniel Avansi at Unicamp's CEPETRO, funded by PETRONAS Brazil, aims to enhance CO₂ storage capacity and reduce geological uncertainties. Beginning in May 2025, the project focuses on depleted oil reservoirs and saline aquifers typical in Brazil.
It employs Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology for permanent CO₂ confinement. The project faces challenges in building numerical models that incorporate physical, geochemical, and geomechanical phenomena.
It also aims to develop AI-based analytical models to expedite decision-making. The multidisciplinary team addresses climate commitments and has implications for various industries with high CO₂ emissions.
