I like turning research into tools people can actually use. CO2GIS began as the practical component of my MSc in Computer Engineering at Polytechnic University of Leiria, and grew into an open-source QGIS plugin for least-cost CO₂ pipeline routing and cell-level CAPEX estimation.

Day to day I build full-stack SaaS — APIs, front-ends, and the plumbing in between. This project is where that engineering habit meets a real climate-infrastructure problem.

It started as an academic project — but CO₂ transport and storage is a field that's quickly gaining interest, so I decided to keep building it independently and in the open. The aim is simple: give researchers, planners and organisations a fast, defensible way to run preliminary CO₂ pipeline routing and cost studies.

CO2GIS is free and open-source. If you are using this tool for commercial CCUS projects and need custom development or priority support, reach out at co2gis.support@gmail.com — happy to talk.

If CO2GIS has been useful to your work and you'd like to support its development, sponsoring is always appreciated.

CO2GIS started as a Master's dissertation at Polytechnic University of Leiria, and is now developed independently.

Built on open data and open-source foundations — QGIS, GRASS GIS, and the COMET cost model.
