The updated preliminary estimate, based on current emission rates, documents 1,800 billion to more than 20,000 billion tons of CO2 storage potential in saline formations, oil and gas reservoirs and unmineable coal areas.
The atlas has been refined to better reflect uncertainties in geological formation properties, said the DoE. Nonetheless, the estimates provided by this third version of the atlas are not intended to be used as a substitute for site-specific characterization and assessment.
The primary purpose of Atlas III is to update U.S./Canadian CO2 storage potential and provide updated information on the activities of DoE’s seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSPs), comprised of more than 400 organizations, 43 states, and four Canadian provinces. It includes details about commercialization opportunities for CCS technologies from each RCSP and updated information on the location of CO2 stationary source emissions, as well as the locations and geological storage potential of various formations.

Recent attacks on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant "mark the beginning of a new and gravely dangerous front of the war," the UN atomic agency's director general said last week.
After years of inaction, Germany is working on its Carbon Management Strategy to resolve how CCS can play a role in climate action in industry. At the end of February, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action published first key points and a proposal to amend the law Kohlenstoffdioxid Speicherungsgesetz (KSpG). Bellona Deutschland, who was actively involved in the previous stakeholder dialogue submitted a statement in the association hearing.
In the midst of a global discussion on whether natural gas should be used as a transitional fuel and whether emissions from its extraction, production, transport and use are significantly less than those from other fossil fuels, Russia has developed ambitious plans to increase its own production of liquified natural gas (LNG) in the Arctic – a region with 75% of proven gas reserves in Russia – to raise its share in the international gas trade.
