Abstract:
Introduction: The accelerating pace of climate change, driven primarily by rising greenhouse gas emissions, presents a critical challenge to sustainable natural resource management. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is increasingly recognized as a viable mitigation strategy to reduce atmospheric CO₂ levels and support global carbon neutrality goals. Methods: This study explores the integration of Machine Learning (ML)—specifically Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs)—and High-Performance Computing (HPC) to optimize CCS processes. GCNs are employed to analyze and model complex datasets for CO₂ transport, identifying optimal routes based on criteria such as distance, cost, and efficiency. Simultaneously, HPC infrastructure, including GPU acceleration, is leveraged to enhance computational speed and processing capabilities. Results: The combined implementation of GCNs and HPC significantly reduces computational time—by approximately 65% compared to GCNs without HPC support. This acceleration enables real-time route optimization and model recalibration based on dynamic environmental and logistical inputs, improving the operational efficiency of CO₂ capture, transport, and storage. Conclusions: The integration of high-performance computing with advanced ML techniques offers a transformative approach to improving CCS systems. By enabling rapid, data-driven decision-making, this strategy not only enhances the precision and efficiency of CCS but also strengthens broader efforts toward climate change mitigation and sustainable environmental management.
