CarbonCore, CCS Development and Integration Platform Discuss an onshore pathway
Onshore CCUS service architecture

Services

A five-stage boutique service model for German onshore CCUS decisions.

Each phase starts with a specific onshore project question, produces a defined evidence package and ends with a clear recommendation for what should happen next.

Scope is tailored to the project. CarbonCore stays focused on high-value development, integration and review tasks rather than becoming a broad undifferentiated engineering office.

02 / Service architecture
Phase Customer question CarbonCore output Next decision
01 · Understand What problem are we actually solving?

Source definition, decision context, project boundary, German onshore constraints, stakeholder map, stop conditions and the initial source-to-storage hypothesis.

Approve assessment scope.

02 · Assess Is there a credible CCS pathway?

Storage screening, transport logic, data maturity, regulatory plausibility, interface risks, option comparison and explicit stop conditions.

Select pathway for development.

03 · Develop What integrated concept can progress?

Integrated technical basis, interface architecture, evidence plan, critical work packages, cost and schedule logic, and the closure of decisive gaps.

Approve next investment gate.

04 · Deliver How will scope and interfaces be controlled?

Requirements management, design reviews, partner coordination, interface governance, scope boundaries and delivery integration.

Release execution packages.

05 · Operate How will performance and integrity be governed?

MMV integration, operating data structure, integrity decisions, lifecycle planning and optimisation support.

Approve operating action.

First engagement

Onshore Pathway Qualification.

A focused first step for an industrial emitter, infrastructure developer or storage owner that needs a rigorous German onshore view before committing to a larger programme.

Typical output
Storage pathway fit, critical evidence gaps, source-to-storage interface risks, decision roadmap and a tightly scoped next-stage work package.
  • Designed for incomplete data, early uncertainty and emerging German onshore market structures.
  • Can compare multiple storage routes, transport assumptions and project phasing options.
  • Separates assumptions, working hypotheses and validated evidence.
  • Defines owners, cost ranges, review logic and stop conditions for the next work.

Service detail

Source and project context, storage route screening, maturity assessment, preliminary infrastructure logic, risk framing, decision gates and a recommended work plan for Germany-specific onshore progression.

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.
