Webinar: Air Quality and Public Health Impacts from Industry and Decarbonization: Case Studies using the Local Air Emissions Tracking Atlas (LOCAETA)
The Local Air Emissions Tracking Atlas (LOCAETA) project is a platform and analysis approach that allows us to understand the impacts of industrial facilities on surrounding communities. In particular, for changes in industrial emissions due to various interventions, we estimate the changes in air pollutant concentrations and the resulting public health impacts, and display them in an interactive Explorer for ease of communication and use. These scenarios may be co-benefits to industrial facility decarbonization, or other interventions such as landfill enclosed flares, the establishment of data centers, or other changes that may affect neighboring communities.
In this recorded webinar, Carbon Solutions and the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub explore how to reduce investment barriers to large-scale carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCUS) around industrial carbon hubs.
Speakers: Marcos Miranda β Carbon Solutions, Elizabeth Moore β Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
This session focuses on the concrete and cement sector, using spatial-economic modeling to identify cost-effective strategies for infrastructure buildout and deployment at scale.
Presenting at CCUS Latin America 2025
Our team recently shared a new modeling approach at CCUS Latin America 2025 that integrates hydrogen and COβ infrastructure planning. The poster, led by Juan Carlos Duque, Qasim Mehdi, and partners at GTI Energy, focuses on Appalachiaβusing a mixed-integer linear programming model to optimize where hydrogen is produced and stored, where COβ is captured, and […]
Presenting at CCUS Latin America 2025
At CCUS Latin America 2025, Erin Middleton shared Carbon Solutionsβ work on planning and modeling regional carbon hubs in the U.S.βwith Wyoming as a key example. Her presentation covered our work on the Wyoming Trails Carbon Hub (WyoTCH) and Carbon Blueprint projects, showing how emissions data, regulatory timelines, land ownership, and subsurface storage all come […]
Presenting at CCUS Latin America 2025
At CCUS Latin America 2025, our CEO Richard Middleton walked through the advanced modeling tools that Carbon Solutions uses to help answer this question. His presentation covered how SimCCS PRO, CostMAP PRO, COβNCORD, and SCOβT PRO work together to guide infrastructure decisions from start to finishβwhether you’re planning COβ pipelines across Wyoming or mapping capture-to-storage […]
Webinar: Introducing LOCAETA: The Industrial Emissions and Decarbonization Co-Benefits Data Explorer
Daniel Rodriguez and Amy Jordan present LOCAETA, a tool that quantifies and provides transparent information about the effects on air quality from multiple decarbonization options, e.g., carbon capture and storage (CCS), electrification, and fuel-switching.
LOCAETA Listening Session
At a πΏππΆπ΄πΈππ΄ listening session in Denver, where kids were present, we introduced coloring pages as a simple way to illustrate the air pollutant co-benefits of carbon capture, electrification, and fuel switching. While they were designed as a fun visual for that event, we thought they would be worth sharing more broadly.
