Tittle: Wyoming CarbonSAFE: Developing a Commercial-Scale Carbon Storage Hub

Abstract: Wyoming CarbonSAFE is a Department of Energy (DOE) funded project (DE- FE0031891) with an objective of advancing the commerciality of a proposed carbon storage hub in the northern Powder River Basin. The project is evaluating developing CCUS at Dry Fork Station (DFS) north of Gillette, one of the nation’s newest and cleanest coal-fired power plant, operated by Basin Electric Power Cooperative. In addition, the project will complete site characterization and Class VI permits for existing and proposed wells, and develop the economic, regulatory and field strategies to meet a storage goal of 50+ million metric tons. The Wyoming CarbonSAFE project is collaborating with Wyoming’s Integrated Test Center, a research center co-located at DFS that that is currently hosting a FEED study and a large-scale CO2 capture demonstration project led by Membrane Technology Research. This presentation will provide an update on…
