The NATCARB Viewer displays CO2 storage resource data that were obtained by the RCSPs and other sources and compiled by the NATCARB team. Carbon dioxide geologic storage information in the NATCARB Viewer was developed to provide a high-level overview of CO2 geologic storage potential across the United States and parts of Canada. Areal extents of geologic formations and CO2 resource estimates presented are intended to be used as an initial assessment of potential geologic storage. This information provides CCS project developers a starting point for further investigation. Furthermore, this information is required to indicate the extent to which CCS technologies can contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and is not intended to serve as a substitute for site-specific assessment and testing. Please note that data resulting in a straight edge in the map above is indicative of an area lacking sufficient data and is subject to future investigation. States/Provinces with a "zero" value represent estimates of minimal CO2 storage resource, while states/provinces with a blank represent areas that have not yet been assessed by the RCSPs.
Information in the Worldwide CCS Database regarding technologies being developed for capture, evaluation of sites for sequestration of CO2, estimation of project costs and anticipated dates of completion for projects are sourced from publically available information. This database provides the public with information regarding efforts by various industries, public groups, and governments towards development and eventual deployment of CCS technology. This is an active database that will be updated as information regarding these or new projects are released to the public.
