Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Calculator
Estimate CO2 capture rate, compression requirements, and storage capacity for carbon capture projects. Covers post-combustion capture and geological storage sizing.

Equations
CO2 mass flow: m_CO2 = Q_flue × y_CO2 × eff × MW_CO2 / (22.4 × 1000) [tonnes/day at std conditions]
Storage capacity: V_pore = area × thickness × porosity; CO2 at reservoir conditions
Formation thickness assumed 100 ft; CO2 density at depth ≈ 600 kg/m³ (supercritical)
