Carbon capture and storage deployment
in the U.S.
Carbon capture and storage refers to a suite of technologies that reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution from industrial facilities and power plants. Carbon capture and storage captures CO2 and other pollutants directly from a facility before they are emitted. The CO2 is then compressed and transported to where it is permanently and securely stored in deep geologic formations.
Explore these regional and state-specific fact sheets to help understand the process, economic and health benefits, and potential risks to deploying carbon capture and storage in the U.S.
The Midwest contains world-class geologic storage formations that have attracted commercial interest and investment in carbon capture and storage technologies.
Colorado hosts numerous industrial facilities and geologic formations are widely distributed across the state,
which can store substantial amounts of CO2.
Illinois is home to a large sedimentary basin with deep geologic formations that
are ideal for permanently storing captured CO2.
Louisiana hosts a high density of industrial facilities, unique geologic formations, and existing pipeline networks that have attracted surging commercial interest and investment in carbon capture and storage technologies.
Michigan hosts numerous industrial facilities and geological storage formations suitable for permanent storage that are starting to attract commercial interest and investment in carbon capture and storage technologies.

Projets de captage du carbone aux États-Unis
CATF has built an interactive map that tracks carbon capture projects that have been publicly announced in the U.S. Users can click on the colored circles on each map to learn about each project’s location, sector (industrial, power, or direct air capture), type of CO₂ storage (EOR or saline), storage capacity and current status.

Puits de classe VI pour le stockage géologique duCO2
La quasi-totalité des projets de captage et de stockage du carbone aux États-Unis nécessiteront le stockage permanent des émissions captées dans des formations géologiques profondes par l'intermédiaire de puits de classe VI. CATFLa carte interactive de la Commission suit toutes les demandes de puits de classe VI actuellement en cours et les puits de classe VI actifs aux États-Unis, ainsi que le statut actuel de primauté de la classe VI par État.
