This GIS is intended to enable users to identify major sources and sinks for CO₂ capture and storage in the UK and its continental shelf. At present it includes the following data:

• Industrial sources of CO₂ in the UK. This data was kindly provided by the Environment Agency (England and Wales), the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (Scotland) and the Northern Ireland Department of the Environment (Northern Ireland).
  
• Oil and gas fields, pipelines, quadrants and blocks on the UK Continental Shelf. The oil and gas fields are considered to be prime targets for CO₂ storage.
  
• Miscellaneous geological datasets. At present this is mainly BGS data and is their copyright.
  

Any further datasets or attributes you would like to see added to the GIS? Please contact Sam Holloway.
