Project WyoTCH—the Wyoming Trails Carbon Hub (WyoTCH, pronounced “Watch”)—will develop a carbon management Roadmap for Wyoming focused on the concept of “No Carbon Left Behind” (no stranded CO2, now or in the future). The Roadmap will serve as a blueprint or set of lessons learned for how other development teams can form open-access carbon hubs across the nation to help meet the Nation’s climate and energy goals.
SCO2Tᴾᴿᴼ is a cutting-edge geospatial siting tool and database designed to revolutionize subsurface analysis for carbon storage and energy transition planning.
MethaneDART (Methane Emissions-Detection, Analysis, and Resource Management Tool) was developed as a geospatial intelligence platform designed to monitor and analyze methane emissions using satellite-based remote sensing data. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, has seen a sharp increase in emissions over the past decade, making its detection and mitigation a critical component of climate change efforts. This tool was created to address the growing need for near real-time, high-resolution methane monitoring, particularly in the natural gas industry, where fugitive emissions represent a significant and preventable source of greenhouse gases. MethaneDART leverages advances in satellite data availability and machine learning algorithms to provide users with automated methane detection, emissions quantification, and industry-specific categorization of emission sources.
The Columbia River Basalt Technical Assistance Program (CaRBTAP) is a collaborative initiative designed to provide objective, science-based technical assistance to key stakeholders involved in carbon storage projects within the Columbia River Basalt (CRB) region. Led by Carbon Solutions LLC, alongside key partners including the Carbon Containment Lab, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Washington Geological Survey, and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, the project seeks to accelerate the equitable and environmentally responsible deployment of carbon management technologies in the Pacific Northwest. Over the course of three years, CaRBTAP will lay the foundation for a robust carbon management industry in the region by addressing major scientific, economic, and policy-related challenges that impact large-scale CO₂ storage in basalt formations.
Project WyoTCH—the Wyoming Trails Carbon Hub (WyoTCH, pronounced “Watch”)—is a pioneering open-access carbon hub designed to ensure that no captured CO₂ is left stranded. The initiative will develop a comprehensive Roadmap that serves both as a strategic blueprint for the commercial development of the hub and as a national model for establishing similar hubs elsewhere. WyoTCH is set to become the largest carbon management hub in the world, integrating CO₂ capture, transportation, and storage across Wyoming. Phase I aims to manage between 10 and 25 million tonnes of CO₂ per year from 30 facilities in southern Wyoming within its first five years of operation. Phase II will scale the project up to 45 million tonnes per year from approximately 60 facilities statewide within a decade.
The Negative CO₂ Emission Transition Roadmap (NECTAR) was developed as a decision support tool to facilitate the strategic deployment of Direct Air Capture with Carbon Storage (DACCS) and other carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies.
The primary objective of the Uinta Basin CarbonSAFE phase II project is to establish the technical and economic feasibility of a commercial-scale CO₂ geological storage complex in the northeast Uinta Basin, Utah, to sequester at least 50 million metric tons of captured CO₂ securely and economically from the Deseret Power Electric Cooperative Bonanza Power Plant and other sources in 30 years.
The Carbon Utilization and Storage Partnership (CUSP) of the Western United States is a US Department of Energy-funded Regional Initiative established to accelerate onshore CO2capture and storage (CCS) technology deployment in the western region of the US.
CONSOL Energy is designing an advanced carbon-negative power plant that runs on waste coal and biomass, with the potential to be demonstrated in the next 5–10 years and achieve market penetration by 2030. CONSOL previously completed a conceptual design and pre-FEED study for a ~300 MWnet advanced power plant using pressurized fluidized bed combustion (PFBC) technology. This project will advance the end-to-end development of the advanced PFBC technology, including plant design, host site development, environmental considerations, CO2 disposition strategy, energy equity, techno-economic analysis, and lifecycle assesment. The project will provide a roadmap for decision-makers, investors, engineers, construction contractors, and other stakeholders to build this first-of-a-kind powerplant.

Carbon Solutions, in collaboration with the Clean Air Task Force (CATF), conducted a comprehensive assessment of the potential deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies across the U.S. natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) and coal-fired power plant fleets. Utilizing the proprietary SimCCSᴾᴿᴼ toolset, the project evaluated the feasibility, economic viability, and infrastructure needs for integrating CCS into the existing power generation network. The study focused on identifying optimal pathways for CCS implementation, balancing capture costs, transportation logistics, and storage availability in saline aquifers. By modeling multiple deployment scenarios, the research provided insights into the role of CCS in reducing emissions from existing power plants and supporting the broader decarbonization goals of the energy sector.
The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) partnered with Carbon Solutions to develop the Wyoming Carbon Management and Wildlife Decision-Support Tool, integrating carbon management infrastructure with key environmental and wildlife conservation data.
Reaction Engineering International (REI) and the project team are developing a next-generation, cloud-based decision-making software platform that integrates a wide variety of tools into a single, easy-to-use application with a web-based user interface, with capabilities to evaluate and optimize project planning, costs, risks, and uncertainty.
Wabash CarbonSAFE is one of the first six projects awarded for Phase II work by the U.S. Department of Energy. The project will establish the feasibility of developing a storage complex associated with the Wabash Valley Resources facility near Terre Haute, Indiana. The former Wabash integrated gasification combined cycle power plant at this location is being repurposed for hydrogen or ammonia production and will serve as the primary source of CO2 for the storage complex.
CarbonSAFE projects aim to address R&D knowledge gaps and develop the technologies needed to deploy commercial scale CO2 storage (50+ million metric tons).
This project is developing a new software package, called SimWIND, to support wind energy planning by balancing (1) natural resource and societal impacts and other environmental factors, (2) wind power generation potential (i.e., wind-generated electricity at any given site), (3) transmission planning and routing, and (4) integration into the electric grid.
Despite exponential growth in utility-scale battery storage in recent years to approximately 1 gigawatt operating capacity, pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) still accounts for over 90% of all utility-scale storage in the U.S. and globally. PSH is a proven, cost-effective technology that is poised for massive expansion throughout the U.S. if the “ΔH challenge” can be solved.
The Midwest Regional Carbon Initiative (MRCI) is a broad coalition of partners dedicated to accelerating the deployment of CCS technologies in the Midwest and Northeastern United States.
This tool allows site developers, industry, community members, and environmental justice advocates to look at the same data at all stages or project planning in one place. SEEJust will help raise awareness and integrate community benefits at the beginning of the project.
