About

Sharing of reference datasets from pioneering CO₂ storage projects is essential to accelerate improved understanding, build capacity, reduce costs and minimize uncertainties associated with CO₂ storage in deep geological formations.

The CO₂ Storage Data Consortium launched the CO₂ DataShare online portal in January 2020, for the purpose of disseminating available reference datasets from industry and pilot projects related to real geological CO₂ storage operations.

Sharing and accessing CO₂ storage data:

CO₂ DataShare aims to share high-quality datasets from pilot, demonstration and industry-scale projects to enable research and development essential for building confidence in CO₂ storage as a greenhouse gas control strategy.

All documentation and metadata is openly accessible. When it comes to data access itself, the default and preferred model is for the datasets to be freely downloadable under an open license.

Data documentation, definition of metadata and clarification of access rights and licensing terms are tasks done by the data provider in collaboration with CO₂ DataShare.

For dialogue on reference datasets that could be relevant for sharing, please contact the CO₂ Storage Data Consortium.
