Storage judgement, not generic screening.
Geology, reservoirs, containment, pressure behaviour, wells, monitoring and integrity are evaluated as one storage system.
A UGS GmbH initiative
About CarbonCore
A focused onshore CCUS and AI Engineering boutique, built on UGS storage expertise.
CarbonCore combines German subsurface depth, storage and well experience, project integration and AI-supported engineering in one senior, accountable operating model.
Mission
Turn German onshore CCUS ambition into executable projects.
Germany has industrial demand, subsurface potential and experienced technical capability. What many projects still lack is a compact integration layer that connects source, storage, infrastructure, permitting, commercial logic and the next investment decision.
CarbonCore provides that layer. The model is deliberately boutique: senior attention remains close to the decisive questions, specialist work is assembled around the project, and AI-supported workflows improve speed without weakening technical ownership.
UGS foundation
Built on decades of German underground storage capability.
UGS contributes long-standing experience in underground storage engineering, drilling and workover, well and storage integrity, operations, georesources and German approval procedures.
Source-to-storage integration.
Technical assumptions, commercial boundaries, permitting logic and project gates are controlled on one shared basis.
AI-supported engineering with accountable review.
Structured evidence handling, document intelligence and interface tracking accelerate the work while named experts own the result.
Core team
A lean senior core. Specialist accountability.
The CarbonCore core team combines commercial leadership, programme integration, senior storage geology, scientific challenge and structured technical modelling.

Corporate structure
Boutique execution. UGS responsibility.
Operating model
CarbonCore is the specialist onshore CCUS and AI Engineering platform of UGS GmbH. Contracts, quality management and legal responsibility remain with UGS GmbH.
- Compact senior core with direct customer access.
- UGS technical and operational capability integrated project by project.
- Specialist partners added only where they materially improve the pathway.
- No unnecessary generalist scope or organisational overhead.
