The paper proposes the concept of a regional assessment of the outlooks for implementation of CCUS (carbon capture, utilization and storage) projects at the territory of the Russian Federation. Three groups of criteria are considered: general hydrogeological, tectonic and environmental. For the first time, the categories of lands with high, medium, low prospects and unpromising ones are singled out. A map of the outlooks for the implementation of CCUS projects at the territory of the Russian

... eration was compiled according to the criteria of the regional level on a scale of 1: 2500,000 in the form of an ArcGis project, including its interactive analogue with access via the Internet. The performed analysis of the hydrogeological features of the territory of the Russian Federation made it possible to identify 56 structures with high, 6 with medium and 29 with low prospects at the regional stage. The most promising areas are confined to three hydrogeological regions: the East European, East Siberian platforms and the West Siberian Plate.
