Carbon Capture Co-Benefits
Owner: Great Plains Institute
8/2023This report explains how carbon capture projects can deliver environmental, health, and economic co-benefits, including reduced air pollution, job creation, community investment, and support for equitable climate and industrial transition strategies.
Carbon Capture and Storage in the Midwest
Owner: Clean Air Task Force
4/2/2024Carbon capture and storage refers to a suite of technologies that reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution from industrial facilities and power plants. Carbon capture and storage captures CO2 and other pollutants directly from a facility before they are emitted. The CO2 is then compressed and transported to where it is permanently and securely stored in […]
Rain Garden CAD Files Open Source Download
Owner: Delta Institute
2020Please utilize Delta’s open source CAD files for Green Infrastructure Designs used to reduce flooding, manage stormwater, expand access to greenspace, and achieve other quality of life indicators. Municipalities have provided their engineers and/or landscape designers with these CAD files to streamline the design and installation process–thus reducing costs and time.

Applied Ecological Services: Green Infrastructure Qualifications – Midwest
We mimic nature, viewing rainwater as a valuable resource on a landscape. Our design approach addresses challenges of urban watersheds by managing runoff with a variety of structural and nonstructural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to encourage stormwater capture, storage, and infiltration. The ultimate objective is to replicate, or closely approximate, pre-development site hydrology, while maximizing […]
