National Carbon Explorer

The process of sequestering carbon dioxide (CO₂) involves identifying sources that produce CO₂ and sinks where the CO₂ can be stored. These web pages present interactive maps and background information on the process of storing CO₂. This Atlas is created by the NatCarb project and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory.

Use the links at left to explore climate change, common sources of greenhouse gasses, and the many ways those gases can be removed from the atmosphere and stored. The complete atlas is available from the National Energy Technology Laboratory

Also available online is additional information on the NatCarb Project, whose goal is to create a national view of carbon sequestration by linking regionally managed databases. The main site includes the original NatCarb Interactive Map, a more robust version of the maps presented in the new Atlas linked at left.
