About the CaRBTAP Project

The Columbia River Basalt Technical Assistance Partnership (CaRBTAP) is dedicated to providing objective, unbiased technical support to stakeholders involved in carbon storage projects across the region. Our goal is to accelerate the deployment of carbon management technologies, ensuring that these initiatives are both equitable and sustainable.
