About

US Department of Energy NETL carbon-capture-and-storage (CCS) data, relevant to 45Q tax credits, EOR, and Class VI permitting. Three datasets: large CO2 source emitters from the EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (about 6,326, full US, by state, facility, industry sector, and reported direct emissions), NATCARB saline storage basins (with low/high capacity estimates), and CO2 storage projects. Core use: match a region's CO2 sources to nearby storage capacity. Additive to the netl-edx connector, which serves NETL's download catalog rather than queryable spatial layers. Note: the saline-basin layer is a partial cached snapshot (state often blank, no-data capacity = -999), and the emitters layer is full-US and the richest. Toggle on and use, no setup needed.
