The National Carbon Sequestration Database and Geographic Information System (NATCARB) Sources spatial database of stationary sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across the USA and parts of Canada. Sources are classified into nine categories - Agricultural Processing Facilities, Cement and Lime Plants, Electric Generating Plants, Ethanol Production Plants, Fertilizer Production, Industrial Facilities, Petroleum or Natural Gas Transmission, Refineries and Chemical Facilities, and Unclassified. This data layer reflects the best available knowledge regarding stationary CO2 emissions sources in the USA and Canada.
Version Log:
v1101 - Initial release for Atlas III;
v1102 - not released;
v1103 - CANADA and WESTCARB data updated. Many duplicates among partnerships removed. Metadata revised.;
v1104 - Ethylene and Ethylene Oxide plants reclassified to Refineries/Chemical Plant;
v1204 - Initial release for Atlas IV. New data submitted by all regional partnerships.
The NATCARB is administered by the US Dept. of Energy (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and contains data provided by the Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP). The NATCARB Team at KGS compiled the regional datasets into a single, seamless layer.
The NATCARB Sources dataset provides a single, seamless spatial database of stationary sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions across the USA and parts of Canada compiled from regional datasets created by the RCSPs. The spatial distribution of carbon dioxide emission estimates in this dataset are intended to be used as an initial assessment of stationary sources only. Stationary sources are particular, identifiable, localized sources of emissions, and include such operations as power plants, ethanol plants, petroleum and natural gas processing facilities, cement and lime plants, agricultural processing facilities, industrial facilities, iron and steel production facilities, and fertilizer production facilities. Non-stationary sources of CO2, such as transportation, and non-point sources, such as widespread land use practices, are not included in this data set. RCSPs either used emissions estimates from the EPA Greenhouse Gas database or calculated emissions estimates using other publicly-available databases (e.g., eGRID, IEA GHG, and NATCARB) and emissions factors. Calculation methods for a given source type vary by RCSP. Appendix A of The United States 2012 Carbon Utilization and Storage Atlas - Fourth Edition documents the practical quantitative methods used by each RCSP (i.e., emission factors, continuous emissions-monitoring results, emission estimate equations, etc.) to estimate CO2 emissions from each source. Appendix A also includes the data sources used to determine plant capacities, production outputs, and fuel usage.
For a detailed methodology of emissions estimates refer to Appendix A ofThe United States 2012 Carbon Utilization and Storage Atlas - Fourth Edition (Atlas IV).

Version 1204 (fourth quarter release of 2012) of the NATCARB Sources spatial database was created by the NATCARB Team at the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS). The following Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSP) contributed data to the national dataset:
Big Sky Carbon Sequestration Partnership (BSCSP);
Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium (MGSC);
Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP);
The Plains CO2 Reduction Partnership (PCOR);
Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (SECARB);
Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP);
West Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (WESTCARB).
Data were also provided by NETL.
Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; Esri ArcGIS 10.1.1.3143
Questions 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 making corrections to values in text fields (spelling, capitalization, etc.) when errors were noticed.
All RCSPs provided carbon dioxide emission source 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.
This dataset reflects the best available knowledge regarding the location of stationary atmospheric carbon dioxide emission sources in the USA and parts of Canada. Not all RCSPs provided data for all attribute fields in the database.

As 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.
The NATCARB Team 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 (v10.0) software in the Summer and Fall of 2012. Other alterations to the data include identifying overlapping and duplicate data submitted by adjacent partnerships and making corrections to values in text fields (spelling, capitalization, etc.) when errors were noticed.
