The Great Plains Institute (GPI) published an Atlas of Carbon and Hydrogen Hubs in February 2022, based on an analysis of United States industrial activity, emissions, and fuel combustion. This atlas considers geologic storage potential, current hydrogen production, industrial concentration, and many other factors that provide opportunities for siting carbon dioxide removal, carbon capture retrofit, and new zero-carbon hydrogen production.
