Kansas Geological Survey maps CO2 storage potential and examines hydrogen and salt‑cavern storage
Summary
KGS presented a statewide assessment of the Arbuckle formation’s CO2 storage potential, discussed hydrogen pathways including an unsuccessful federal hydrogen hub bid, and reviewed bedded‑salt resources that could be used to store hydrogen in caverns.
The Kansas Geological Survey told the House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources that it has produced a statewide, county‑level assessment of CO2 storage potential in the Arbuckle formation and is evaluating hydrogen‑related resources and storage options.
KGS staff described a broad analysis that scores counties by relative chance of success for geologic CO2 storage, explains depth and reservoir properties, and estimates storage capacity by county in gigatons. Kalbus cautioned the product is a “blunt instrument,” suitable as a first step to narrow candidate areas that would still require…
