Abstract
Techniques for carbon sequestration and storage site selection are presented. The techniques include: obtaining range estimations of criteria for potential carbon sequestration and storage sites; selecting random criteria values in respective range estimations; forming a decision matrix from the random criteria values; weighing the decision matrix to obtain representative vectors; scoring at least some the potential carbon sequestration and storage sites according to similarities of respective potential carbon sequestration and storage site representative vectors to a best vector and to a worst vector; ranking the potential carbon sequestration and storage sites according to the scores; repeating the selecting, forming, weighing, scoring, and ranking a plurality of times to obtain a plurality of sets of scores and a plurality of rankings; displaying a visualization of the plurality of rankings; and selecting a carbon sequestration and storage site from among the potential carbon sequestration and storage sites based on the visualization.
