Experience
Casie's research interests focus on analysis at the interface between natural, economic, and policy systems. Since joining PNNL in 2003, she has contributed heavily to research projects focused on understanding the role that carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) systems may play as part of the larger effort to stabilize concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Most visibly, Casie was a major contributor on the soon-to-be-released CO2 Storage Supply Curve for North America report, a first-of-its-kind study conducted for the International Energy Agency's Greenhouse Gas Programme.
Other contributions include modeling of the deployment of CCS under various CO2 stabilization pathways and its temporal and spatial impacts on the fossil-fired power sector; a survey of potential geophysical monitoring and verification techniques and their applicability to CCS; the development of a methodology to quantify costs associated with the impacts of natural seismicity on CCS operations; and other work through the Global Energy Technology Strategy Program, the Joint Global Change Research Institute and PNNL's Carbon Management Initiative.
