About
The data aggregates publicly available information on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects globally, acting as an essential reference tool for tracking developments in climate change mitigation technology. It includes information on active, proposed, and terminated CCS projects, detailing efforts by various industries and governmental bodies towards the development and eventual deployment of CCS technology. Key data points cover technologies being developed for capture, the evaluation of sites for carbon dioxide (CO2) storage, project costs estimation, and the current status of facilities.
Columns
This dataset includes forty columns, with key attributes providing specific details on the facilities and projects:
- Project ID: A unique identifier for the project.
- Project Name: The official name of the initiative.
- Company: Identifies the organisation operating the plant or facility (e.g., Illinois State Geological Survey).
- Plant Name: The name of the specific facility, which may be a subset of the larger project (note: approximately 16% of records are missing a specific plant name).
- Storage and/or Capture: Indicates the type of operation occurring, with 'Capture and Storage' being the most frequent type.
- Overall Status: Refers to the project's lifecycle status, such as 'Active' (currently 41% of records) or 'Completed'.
- Plant Status: Refers to the facility status, with 'Existing' being the most common classification.
- Project Phase: Details the phase of the project lifecycle (e.g., 'Planning' is the most common phase listed).
- Country Location: The country where the operation is based.
Distribution
The data is available in a standard flat file format, typically CSV (
CCS_Map_Data_Jan2023.csv). It currently contains 417 validated records, drawn from a possible set of over 400 rows of information. The dataset features a total of forty columns, though some attributes, such as facility name, may have missing values. Updates to the information are expected to occur annually.Usage
This data is ideal for applications seeking to:
- Monitor global progress in Carbon Capture and Sequestration development.
- Conduct research on site evaluation for CO2 storage and capture technologies.
- Perform economic modelling based on estimated project costs.
- Inform policy decisions regarding environment, energy, and research initiatives.
- Track specific industry or government involvement in high-level CCS efforts.
Coverage
The scope is global, encompassing projects worldwide. The records span a significant time range, dating from 1978 to the present day. Geographically, the United States accounts for the largest share of projects recorded, followed by other nations like Australia. The dataset covers both operational facilities (37 projects are actively capturing and/or injecting CO2) and those still in the planning or terminated stages.
