Deposits Data

We currently do not have sufficient deposit data for Dominican Republic to calculate potential carbon emissions of fossil fuels under protected areas. However, our data indicates that deposits from bordering countries extend into Dominican Republic and thus some fossil fuel deposits may exist under Dominican Republic. See the map below to explore fossil fuel deposits in Dominican Republic.
