      Lumina Applied Sciences is a newly formed division of Lumina Geophysical, which has acquired the former CarbonScale UK Limited business. It is a technical data and consulting company serving the Oil, Gas and Energy Transition market across the globe. Our experienced team has developed a unique solution for de-risking sustainable hydrocarbon and green energy projects from a technical, commercial and participatory perspective. Our existing solutions include subsurface and surface support from our world-leading experts, and, through a process of organic and acquisitive growth, we aim to become the premier cleantech solution provider for the energy industry. Lumina-AS has developed a technically proven and complete workflow around the assessment of hydrocarbon, CCS, gas storage and geothermal exploration in legacy datasets from the E&P industry – exploring with the archive before proving with the drill-bit. From this we can develop and support projects across the energy transition, from EOR to hydrogen generation and gas storage, from geothermal heat and power to rare-earth and vital mineral resource extraction. Our expertise takes the subsurface exploration phase of a project to longer-term successful outcomes by de-risking surface issues such as economic and environmental challenges, infrastructure, logistics and markets, researching CO2 source emitters and potential injection sites, and local source and end-users for geothermal heat and power.
