NRAP releases a new version of NRAP-Open-IAM, an integrated assessment model for geologic carbon storage sites

NRAP has released a new version (beta 1.0.1) of its open-source integrated assessment model (NRAP-Open-IAM). This tool is designed to assist in quantifying containment effectiveness and risk of leakage to support decision making for effective planning, permitting, and operation of geologic carbon storage sites. The tool can, for example, be used to calculate a risk-based area of review, quantify how operational decisions impact leakage risks, and understand the evolution of risk in the post-injection phase. New features in version beta 1.0.1 include a machine-learning wellbore leakage model, the semi-analytical leakage solutions for aquifers (SALSA) model, a framework that relates quantitative results with semiquantitative risk assessments, and use of a new approach for installing NRAP-Open-IAM and its dependencies. The new version is available for download on EDX (https://edx.netl.doe.gov/dataset/phase-iii-nrap-open-iam) and GitLab (https://gitlab.com/NRAP/OpenIAM).
