Carbon Capture and
Storage in the U.S.

With passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), there is significant new momentum to combat the climate challenge and meet U.S. emissions targets by installing critically needed carbon capture and storage technologies.  

The dedicated spending and expanded tax credits in the IRA and IIJA have given developers even more reason to focus on capturing carbon pollution from air emissions waste streams and permanently storing it underground.

Carbon capture projects in the U.S.

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 the map to learn about each project’s location, sector (industrial, power, or direct air capture), type of CO₂ storage, storage capacity and current status. 

Interactive Class VI Wells Map

Class VI wells for geologic storage of CO2

Nearly all carbon capture and storage projects in the U.S. will require captured emissions to be permanently stored in deep geologic formations via Class VI wells. CATF’s interactive map tracks all the currently pending Class VI well applications and active Class VI wells in the U.S., as well as the current Class VI primacy status by state.

Air pollutant reductions from carbon capture

Ce rapport fournit une analyse technique rigoureuse des effets sur la qualité de l'air de l'intégration de la technologie de capture du carbone dans deux processus industriels difficiles à décarboniser et constate une réduction significative des polluants atmosphériques nocifs pour la santé ainsi qu'une réduction de la pollution par le carbone.
