Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (MRCSP)
Interactive Mapping Launch Page
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE MRCSP PROJECT
The MRCSP has been established to assess the technical potential, economic viability, and public acceptability of carbon sequestration within its region. It is one of seven regional partnerships established by the DOE across the U.S. as part of an overall DOE strategy to develop robust cost-effective options for mitigating CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change.
The MRCSP region consists of seven contiguous states: Indiana , Kentucky , Maryland , Michigan , Ohio , Pennsylvania , and West Virginia . A group of leading universities, state geological surveys, nongovernmental organizations and private companies, led by Battelle, has been assembled to carry out this important research.
For more information please visit the link to the MRCSP Homepage located at the top of the interactive map.
Summary information on Ohio mining activity (contact, production, etc.) for an individual operation can be accessed by activating the "Identify" tool found on the interactive map tool bar on the left side of the screen, then selecting a mine or quarry location in the geographical area of interest.
