TerraCOH aims to lower global emissions by safely sequestering carbon dioxide and producing emission-free geothermal power. The company's technology allows carbon-free energy, using the power of fossil fuels without any problems, and store vast quantities of CO2 permanently and safely underground. The technology expands the global use of geothermal energy and delivers low-cost, emission-free, full-time baseload, dispatchable electricity, and grid-level energy storage.
The company suite of technologies particularly suits to transition and leverages the oil and gas workforce to a renewable future.
Carbon Dioxide Plume Geothermal - CPG™ - TerraCOH’s proprietary technology’s novel use of carbon dioxide as its geologic working fluid, allows TerraCOH to sequester millions of tonnes of CO2 safely belowground while incorporating power systems aboveground enabling dispatchable, scalable, baseload, negative-emission power production.
The technology of TerraCOH also allows high efficiency, affordable, small to grid-scale energy storage with TerraCOH’s Earth Battery® technology. Building off of TerraCOH's patented technologies, the company strengthens wind and solar with grid-scale energy storage. This turns the wind and solar from intermittent to dispatchable, baseload power. Unlike aboveground battery systems, the Earth Battery® takes up minimal surface area, while also sheltered from adversarial and natural disasters.
Besides the company's CPG and Earth Battery, the company makes use of the process of CCUS. CCUS or Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage, also referred to as Carbon Capture Utilization and Sequestration is a process that captures carbon dioxide emissions from sources like coal-fired power plants and either reuses or stores it so it will not enter the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide storage in geologic formations includes oil and gas reservoirs, unminable coal seams, and deep saline reservoirs - structures that have stored crude oil, natural gas, brine, and carbon dioxide over millions of years.
TerraCOH knows how to manage and monitor a reservoir, essential to a successful project. TerraCOH's team of belowground and reservoir specialists guides through a safe and prosperous venture. The company does site selection and modeling, design and operation, and monitoring.
TerraCOH's team have nearly 100 years of geologic and reservoir engineering expertise in evaluating target storage formations, determining storage capacity, and modeling the movement of fluids within the formation. The company employs state-of-the-art mapping and modeling tools to forecast the location of the CO2 plume to ensure its confinement for decades into the future. TerraCOH focuses on getting CO2 into the formation, managing its dispersion within the formation, and avoiding leakages to the adjoining formations. TerraCOH adheres to the EPA guidelines for monitoring the plume’s distribution in the formation.
