A curated data resource to support safe carbon dioxide transport-route planning.

ABSTRACT: Supporting the national target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by 2050, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) authorized investments into carbon capture and storage (CCS), highlighting the need for the safe and sustainable transport of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Curated to support CO₂ pipeline route planning optimization and assess existing energy transport corridors, the CCS Pipeline Route Planning Database is a compilation of 47 publicly available, authoritative geospatial data resources, spanning the contiguous U.S., and some including Alaska and Hawaii. Key considerations were identified following comprehensive literature review, which included state legislation, known pipeline stressors, and energy, environmental, and social justice (EJSJ)
