UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Center for CO2 Storage Modeling, Analytics, and Risk Reduction Technologies (CO2-SMART) — a partnership with the University of Southern California (USC) focused on the development of practical strategies for underground carbon dioxide storage — has grown to involve faculty researchers across Penn State, with plans taking shape for a workshop in 2026.

Funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, CO2-SMART brings together leadership from the Penn State College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS) and the Viterbi School of Engineering at USC, positioning the team to promote industrial decarbonization at scale.

Their charge is to build a cooperative research program among university partners guided by experts from government, industry, national laboratories and foundations. First announced in 2024, the interdisciplinary effort now includes Penn State research contributors in EMS, the College of Engineering and Penn State Dickinson Law.
