11/01/2011 v1104 vector digital data National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB), US Dept of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL)NATCARB_Coal_v1104http://www.natcarb.org The National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB) Coal spatial database is a small-scale (large-area) overview of carbon dioxide (CO2) geologic storage potential in unmineable coal areas across the USA and parts of Canada. This data layer reflects the best available knowledge regarding the location of carbon sequestration potential in the USA and Canada, both onshore and offshore. Version Log: v1101 - Initial release for Atlas III v1102 - not released. v1103 - Updated data for WESTCARB. Metadata revised. v1104 - no change The NATCARB is administered by the US Dept. of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and contains data provided by several Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP). RCSPs orginally developed the data per individual geologic storage resource, or as continuous surface models, and then converted these data into a 10 km X 10 km vector "grid". The NATCARB Team at the Kansas Geological Survey compiled the regional datasets into a single, seamless layer. This dataset provides a single, seamless spatial database of carbon storage potentials for unmineable coal areas across the USA and parts of Canada compiled from regional datasets created by the RCSPs. Storage resource estimates are based on physically accessible CO2 storage pore volume within subsurface geologic formations, and on the assumption that the storage reservoirs are open systems in which in situ fluids will either be displaced from the injection zone or managed accordingly. Economic and regulatory constraints are not considered. These data are intended to be used as an initial assessment of potential geologic storage and are not a substitute for site-specific assessment, testing, and geologic investigation. This spatial data layer provides carbon capture and storage (CCS) project developers a starting point for further inquiry into CCS technologies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and is intended for use by RCSPs, project developers, and governmental entities for regional- and national-scale assessments of potential CO2 storage resources in the United States and parts of Canada. Please note that storage resources with hard, straight boundaries are indicative of insufficient data and are subject to further investigation. enFor a detailed methodology of storage resource estimates refer to Appendix B of the 2010 Carbon Sequestration Atlas of the United States and Canada - Third Edition (Atlas III) http://www.netl.doe.gov/technologies/carbon_seq/refshelf/atlasIII/2010AtlasIII_AppendixB.pdf For data access please contact the US DOE-NETL NATCARB Map Team - NatCarb.Maps@netl.doe.gov For questions regarding how the data were assembled, contact the KGS NATCARB Team - natcarb@kgs.ku.edu -177.769050 -41.501268 79.254098 20.313846 -3351251.7400001798748.260000-2111979.6002003758935.680000 None Energy Carbon SequestrationCoalUS Department of EnergyNATCARB ISO 19115 Topic CategoryUSACanadaISO 19115 Topic Category None Version 1104 (fourth quarter release of 2011) of the NATCARB Coal spatial database was created by the NATCARB Team at the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS).

LawrenceKS66047-3726USA8 am - 5 pm M-FThe NATCARB Group at the Kansas Geological Survey assembled GIS datasets from the regional partnerships (and other sources where necessary) into a single layer using ESRI's ArcInfo (v9.3.1) software in the Fall of 2010. All partnerships provided data in 10 km by 10 km vector "cells" except for SECARB, which provided data as polygons representing the full extent of the storage resource. KGS converted SECARB data into 10K cells by overlaying the 10K template and calculating new capacities based on the original capacity density of the storage resource and the area of the newly created 10K polygons. Generally, only data considered "assessed" by the partnerships is included in the NATCARB layer. Not all partnerships provided low, medium and high capacity estimates. Where only medium capacities were provided, KGS made the low and high capacities fields (VOL_LOW and VOL_HIGH, respectively) equal to the medium capacity (VOL_MED). Where only low and high estimates were provided, medium values were set to <Null>. Other alterations to the data include transforming layers into a common projection, standardizing field types, and making corrections to values in text fields (spelling, capitalization, etc.) when errors were noticed.Big Sky Sequestration Partnership07/20/2010vector digital datahttp://www.bigskyco2.org/http://www.natcarb.org/Atlas/partners.htmlMontana State Universitypublication dateBSCSPBig Sky Carbon Sequestration Partnership provided data for the Innermountain West region of the Northwestern United States (Idaho, Eastern Montana, Eastern Oregon, Western South Dakota, Eastern Washington and Wyoming).MGSCMidwest Geological Sequestration Consortium provided data for Illinois, Western Indiana and Western Kentucky.Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium07/20/2011vector digital datahttp://www.sequestration.org/http://www.natcarb.org/Atlas/partners.htmlIllinois State Geological Surveypublication dateMRCSPMidwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership provided data for the Ohio Valley and Northeastern United States (Eastern Indiana, Eastern Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia).Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership07/20/2010http://www.mrcsp.org/http://www.natcarb.org/Atlas/partners.htmlBatelle Memorial Institutevector digital datapublication datePCORThe Plains CO2 Reduction Partnership provided data for the upper Midwest and Central Canada (Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Eastern Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Eastern South Dakota, Wisconsin, Eastern Wyoming, Alberta, Northeastern British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan).http://www.undeerc.org/pcor/The Plains CO2 Reduction Parthership09/24/2010http://www.natcarb.org/Atlas/partners.htmlUniversity of North Dakota, Energy andEnvironmental Research Centervector digital datapublication dateSECARBSoutheast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership provided data for the Southeastern United States (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Eastern Texas, West Virginia and Virginia).http://www.secarbon.org/Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership09/27/2010http://www.natcarb.org/Atlas/partners.htmlSouthern States Energy Boardvector digital datapublication dateSWPSouthwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration provided data for the Southwestern United States (Eastern Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Western Texas and Utah).Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestrationhttp://www.southwestcarbonpartnership.org/New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology09/08/2010http://www.natcarb.org/Atlas/partners.htmlvector digital datahttp://www.westcarb.org/10/18/2010http://www.natcarb.org/Atlas/partners.htmlWest Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership California Energy Commissionvector digital dataWESTCARBWest Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership provided data for the Western United States and Canada (Alaska, Western Arizona, Western British Columbia, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Western Oregon and Western Washington).publication dateUS Department of Energy - National Energy Technology Laboratory Carbon Sequestration ProgramNovember 2010http://www.netl.doe.gov/technologies/carbon_seq/refshelf/atlasIII/US Department of Energy - National Energy Technology LaboratoryThirdhttp://www.netl.doe.gov 1-800-553-7681onlinepublication dateAtlas IIIThe Third Edition of the Carbon Sequestration Atlas of the United States and Canada (Atlas III) provides updated information regarding carbon dioxide storage potential in the US and Canada and includes maps, summary tables and, in Appendices A and B, detailed methodologies.DOE-NETLUS Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory NATCARB TeamAs the responsible authority for the National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB), the US Department of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) NATCARB Team provided data, methodological guidance and expertise in handling issues specific to creation of the composite NATCARB data layers.Kansas Geological Survey NATCARB TeamKGSAs the primary entity responsible for compiling the NATCARB layers, the Kansas Geological Survey NATCARB Team worked closely with the DOE-NETL NATCARB Team to develop rules and methods for assembling the composite datasets.WESTCARB coal data updated03/15/11GIS Support Section, Kansas Geological SurveyNATCARB TeamMetadata updated.06/30/11GIS Support Section, Kansas Geological SurveyNATCARB TeamQuestions regarding accuracy of the data (spatial and attribute) should be directed to the individual RCSPs. Except for certain cases of inter-partnership overlap, NATCARB did not make any changes to the data except for standard spatial manipulations (e.g., changing dataset formats and projections) and database standardizations (e.g., converting float values to integers, correcting spelling errors, changing field names, etc.) required to merge disparate datasets into one layer.All RCSPs provided carbon storage data in accordance with common standards developed by the RCSPs and the NATCARB project teams. (See Sources for more information on methodologies). Discrepancies and overlaps occur at the boundaries of some adjacent partnerships and DOE-NETL is the final authority on the handling of these issues (see data field OVERLAP in Entity Attributes section of this document for details).This dataset reflects the best available knowledge regarding the location of potential carbon sequestration potential in the USA and Canada, both onshore and offshore. However, not all areas of the United States and Canada have been assessed (e.g., offshore New England). Not all RCSPs provided data for all attribute fields in the database. Because most attributes in the database are numeric, this creates uncertainty when the value is "0". Values of zero may represent NODATA or an actual measurement of "0". Where possible, KGS converted attributes thought to be NODATA to <Null>. Attributes thought to represent actual measurements were left as "0". The attribute ASSESSED is a binary field that represents whether the storage resource has been evaluated by the RCSP. Whereas this is useful in distinguishing measured capacities of "0" from NODATA, it is of less use in distinguishing "0" from NODATA for those attributes that were not always provided by the RCSPs (e.g., THICKNESS, DEPTH, etc). Not all RCSPs provided low (VOL_LOW), medium (VOL_MED) and high (VOL_HIGH) estimates of carbon storage capacity. In cases where only medium estimates (VOL_MED) were provided, the medium capacities were copied into the VOL_LOW and VOL_HIGH attribute fields. If the RCSP provided low and high estimates of capacity but not medium, the VOL_MED field was set to <Null>.Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.4000NATCARB_Coal_v1104-177.769050-41.50126879.25409820.3138461-177.769050-41.50126879.25409820.3138461-3351251.741798748.263758935.68-2111979.60021-177.76905-41.50126879.25409820.3138461002ISO 19115 Geographic Information - MetadataDIS_ESRI1.0datasetDownloadable Datamailing and physical address
