Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships

Formed by DOE, the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSPs) are a government/industry effort tasked with determining the most suitable technologies, regulations, and infrastructure needs for carbon capture and sequestration in different regions of the U.S. and Canada. The energy sectors of both countries are very closely related. Geographical differences in fossil fuel use and sequestration potential across the U.S. and Canada dictate regional approaches to sequestration of CO₂ and other GHGs. The seven RCSPs that form this network currently include more than 350 state agencies, universities, and private companies, spanning 42 states, three Indian nations, and four Canadian provinces. In addition, agencies from six member countries of the CSLF are participating.

One of the Regional Partnerships' many tasks is to characterize their Region with respect to CO₂ sources and sinks. Information on this website was generated, in part, from the efforts of each of the seven Regional Partnerships.
