Online Hub Centralizes Data to Empower Carbon Storage Projects

“The Alaska CCUS Hubsite is an exciting new resource for explorers and developers,” says DNR Commissioner-designee John Crowther. “By making critical technical data and regulatory information available in one place, we’re helping unlock new opportunities and drive responsible development across the state.”

Whether assessing the feasibility of new projects, reviewing historical production data, or planning future exploration campaigns, users can quickly access the information they need to make informed decisions. The platform also supports collaboration between government, academia, and private sector partners.

Local contractors from engineering firm HDR compiled the database. The DNR Division of Oil and Gas partnered with the DNR Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the Alaska Center for Energy and Power at UAF, and Alaska Resource Education on this tool. The project was made possible by a grant from the US Department of Energy.

“We successfully leveraged federal funding and brought Alaska organizations together to provide the public with information for carbon storage and other resource industries,” says Division of Oil and Gas Deputy Director Haley Paine. “This will help advance the development of Alaska’s natural resources in both established and emerging industries.”
