Houston-based CarbonStorage.io unveils a comprehensive, real-time platform to map and monitor global carbon management projects, aiming to accelerate transparency and investment in low-carbon infrastructure amid rising decarbonisation efforts.
CarbonStorage.io has gone live with a global intelligence platform intended to map and monitor the expanding landscape of carbon management and low‑carbon infrastructure. The Houston‑based firm said the service provides continuously updated, project‑level datasets and geospatial visualisations covering carbon capture and storage (CCS), direct air capture (DAC), hydrogen, e‑fuels, CO₂ pipeline corridors and related permitting activity, with a free tier for core maps and summaries and paid options for advanced analytics.
The platform aims to consolidate dispersed public and private sources into a single, searchable system to help developers, investors, researchers and energy companies assess project pipelines, regulatory milestones such as Class VI injection well activity, and transport networks. The company said the launch responds to rising demand for higher‑resolution, transparent data as governments and corporates accelerate decarbonisation programmes and channel capital into carbon management.
For commercial and technical audiences, the proposition sits alongside existing industrial digital tools that target operations and regulatory compliance. Large engineering and technology vendors have already introduced software for end‑to‑end CCUS operations, monitoring and verification; one such product focuses on real‑time flow monitoring and regulatory reporting across capture, compression, pipeline and subsurface storage. CarbonStorage.io positions itself as an intelligence layer rather than an operations control system, emphasising open‑access mapping and downloadable datasets for planning, investment due diligence and policy analysis.
Market context suggests a growing pipeline of projects that will feed into intelligence services. Recent project developments include the start of construction on a first‑of‑its‑kind state carbon storage scheme in California that secured final Class VI permits and aims for first injection in early 2026, and a high‑profile corporate‑backed CCS initiative in the US Midwest tied to industrial and power generation assets. Sector observers say such projects increase the value of centralised permitting, pipeline and site‑integrity information for stakeholders assessing siting, transport connectivity and long‑term liability.
CarbonStorage.io has also indicated it is iterating rapidly: a recent product update expanded coverage to include carbon utilisation and voluntary market activity, added permitting feeds and deeper project metadata following user feedback. That trajectory mirrors broader demand for integrated intelligence that blends technical data, regulatory status and commercial signals to shorten decision cycles for project developers and financiers.
Challenges remain for any platform aiming to be authoritative in this space. Data quality and completeness are uneven across jurisdictions, permitting regimes vary widely and commercial confidentiality can obscure key contractual or subsurface details. Independent analytics providers and engineering firms caution that secondary aggregation should be supplemented by primary due diligence, particularly for subsurface storage capacity and long‑term monitoring obligations.
For practitioners in industrial decarbonisation, the new platform offers a consolidated starting point for mapping project interdependencies, identifying prospective transport corridors and monitoring regional permitting trends. The company said the service is now publicly accessible and can be used to download datasets for integration into project development workflows and investment models.

The project is designed to store up to 1.6 million metric tons of CO₂ annually, with a total storage potential of 38 million metric tons in the 26R reservoir. First injection is scheduled for early 2026. The project operates as part of the Carbon TerraVault Joint Venture between CRC and Brookfield, with CRC owning 51% and Brookfield holding 49%. It achieved significant regulatory milestones as the first facility in California to receive final Class VI permits from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The Broadwing Energy project will capture and permanently store approximately 90% of its CO₂ emissions, with Google agreeing to purchase most of the power it generates to support its Midwest data centers. The facility will be located at an industrial site operated by Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), which has experience with CO₂ sequestration. A new power plant with over 400 MW of generating capacity will be built on-site, and the CO₂ will be permanently stored in ADM’s adjacent EPA-approved Class VI sequestration facilities more than a mile underground.
