Carbon Storage Technical Viability Approach (CS TVA) Matrix

The Carbon Storage Technical Viability Approach (CS TVA) Matrix is a knowledge framework developed to outline the information needed for geologic carbon storage. The CS TVA Matrix contains 5 categories, 14 sub-categories, and 47 components. This framework can be leveraged to assess the availability of data and information needed for a carbon storage project. The information categories of the matrix are tied to a list of required data using weighted mapping, published herein.

Basin-Scale Structural Features Database

The Basin-Scale Structural Features database provides spatial datasets of faults, fractures, folds, and earthquakes compiled from public, authoritative sources (e.g., U.S. Geological Survey and State Geological Surveys) and aggregated into derivative forms to support subsurface assessments. Recognizing that characterizing basin-scale structural features requires interpreting data that are often ambiguous or lack key information, the source data were evaluated using a knowledge-data framework and geospatial fuzzy logic method (Justman et al., 2020) to represent both measured (observed) and predicted (inferred or potential) structural features as derivative datasets. This workflow employs conceptual models for known structural features and predicted structural features, incorporating geospatial data to estimate potential, even with limited data. The aim is to aid and support an understanding of basin-scale features and identify potential gaps in data and knowledge. As of 4/30/2025, the database includes resources for nine sedimentary basins: Appalachian, Denver, U.S. Gulf Coast, Illinois, Michigan, Permian, Sacramento, San Joquin and Williston. The database is organized by basin and then data category: 1) Faults, fractures, folds, 2) Earthquakes, 3) Topographic, 4) Structural contours and isopachs, 5) Geophysical, and 6) Structural feature density assessment maps.

The Carbon Storage Technical Viability Approach (CS TVA)

The Carbon Storage Technical Viability Approach (CS TVA) StoryMap provides an in-depth overview of the products created during the CS TVA research effort. In detail, the StoryMap addresses the CS TVA Matrix, Database Version 2.0, Database Catalog, Workflow, and Data Availability Result Database, discussing how each was developed and implemented. Information on how the matrix, database, and database catalog are interconnected, and their usage is also explained. The workflow section provides information on the CS TVA product development from the data-gathering stage to the final data availability results. A section on an expansion of the CS TVA workflow that utilizes Natural Language processing (NLP) section was included. Finally, the Data Availability Results Database is discussed. These results provide data science-informed insights into potential data gaps when assessing the viability of carbon storage in a given area or region.

Carbon Storage Technical Viability Approach (CS TVA) Database

The Carbon Storage Technical Viability Approach (CS TVA) database was developed to support the implementation of the CS TVA Matrix to a national data availability assessment for technically viable carbon storage. This database leverages the efforts of multiple adjacent and overlapping databases by non-redundantly combining the databases into a single database along with additionally providing tags facilitating the CS TVA. The non-redundant aspect of the database permits an accurate assessment of the concentration of available data, aiding in spatial and categorical data gaps analysis relative to the individual CS TVA Matrix Components. Version 2.0 of the database is an expansion of Version 1.0. Version 2.0 was created to include additional data gathered to fill gaps in the existing data set. Downloading the CS TVA v2.0 database will result in two separate databases, the version 1.0 original .gdb, and a second addendum .gdb with the new data gathered, together these two databases make up v2.0. Please see the ReadMe file below for full details, metadata information, use disclaimer, and attributions.

National Critical Minerals Data Dashboard

The Critical Minerals (CM) Data Dashboard provides data-driven insights to help unlock the potential of conventional and unconventional CM resources in the United States. The dashboard focuses on 12 CM essential for producing zero-emission transportation and clean power technology. More information about these CM and potential resources is available in our CM Story Map. Dashboard data sets can be filtered geographically using the options provided along the top of the dashboard. Data sets can also be filtered by various attributes using the options in the expandable side panel on the left side of the screen. The data sets in this dashboard were compiled from multiple sources including the USGS, USEPA, OSMRE, and DHS., Users are encouraged to provide feedback/suggestions on the function and content of the dashboard, as well as any issues that may arise.
