WESTCARB Carbon Atlas

The WESTCARB Carbon Atlas is an interactive geographical information system (GIS) showing the locations of major industrial CO2 emissions sources in the WESTCARB region, as well as areas with geologic formations suitable for storing CO2, boundaries of publicly owned lands relevant to geologic and terrestrial sequestration opportunity characterization, and features such as transportation arteries, rivers and streams, and jurisdictional boundaries.

The Atlas allows users to view and download pre-made maps in the Map Gallery, download data files through the Data Access portal, and extract data or explore data layers using the WESTCARB Data Extractor. Layers are also publicly available through ArcGIS.com, allowing other publicly available datasets to be incorporated into your existing desktop or web-enabled GIS mapping services.

Data in the WESTCARB Carbon Atlas are also served to the U.S. Department of Energy's interactive national carbon atlas (NATCARB). Additionally, DOE has published the Carbon Sequestration Atlas of the United States and Canada, Version 4, which summarizes carbon storage technologies, the regional partnerships' research and field projects, and the location and CO2 storage resource estimates of various geologic formations.
