CMC RESEARCH INITIATIVE
CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery

Research on the utilization of captured anthropogenic CO2 for enhanced oil recovery is a core research focus of the CMC. Learn more...

The Carbon Management Center is a research center of four leading research institutions: the Colorado School of Mines, University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado State University, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Our mission is to conduct basic research, develop next-generation technologies, and engage in cross-cutting analysis for the capture, use, and storage of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
