The Colorado School of Mines was awarded a $1,159,337 cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (CFDA #81.135) federal grant program.

The three-year award will support the development of block modeling techniques to quantify the carbonation potential of heterogeneous rock formations using cutting-edge core scanning technology and machine learning algorithms. By studying drill cores produced during mine exploration and resource definition, the researchers aim to reliably measure the ability of ore deposits to mineralize carbon dioxide through chemical reactions.

A sub-award of $250,000 was provided to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University to support related efforts to apply advanced machine learning algorithms to core scanning data to model carbonation potentials across mineral deposits.

The research has the potential to help mining companies evaluate carbon capture opportunities early in the resource definition process and support ARPA-E's objectives of advancing transformative energy technologies.
