A District-Level Regional Planning Framework for CCUS Deployment in Bangladesh: Spatial Decision Support Approach

This study has constructed and applied Regional CCUS Deployment Suitability Index (RCDSI), an integrated multi-criteria spatial tool to identify suitable Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) deployment zones across all 64 districts of Bangladesh. The RCDSI integrates storage feasibility, climate risk, and utilization synergy into a single multiplicative index, and is based on data-driven principles and a transparent formula that allows for easy reproduction, thereby ensuring a foundation for climate risk assessment of CCUS locations in developing countries that is both reproducible and transparent.
