OLI Systems Lands DOE Funding for CO₂ Pipeline Integrity Model
(P&GJ) — OLI Systems has received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a model aimed at improving CO₂ pipeline safety in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects.
As the U.S. CO₂ pipeline network is expected to expand fivefold by 2050, impurities like sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) present risks to pipeline integrity. OLI’s CO₂ Transport Asset Integrity Model will use advanced corrosion modules, Bayesian network analytics, and cloud-based monitoring to help operators manage these challenges.
"Our expertise lies in bridging rigorous science with real-world application," said Dr. Andre Anderko, Chief Technology Officer at OLI Systems. "This project underscores our commitment to advancing CCUS infrastructure with groundbreaking tools that enable safer, more efficient systems and support decarbonization goals."
OLI Systems has spent decades developing electrolyte chemistry models used by major energy operators worldwide. The company’s thermodynamic models, built through a long-term collaboration with Norway’s Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), already serve as the foundation of its CO₂ Cloud App.
"CO₂ transport forms the backbone of the CCUS value chain," said Vineeth Ram, OLI's Chief Sustainability Officer. "This initiative positions OLI as a trailblazer in delivering the tools necessary to build a resilient and efficient carbon infrastructure, accelerating the transition to a sustainable future."
By enhancing CO₂ transport safety, OLI Systems aims to support decarbonization efforts and strengthen the carbon management industry.
