Advance development of a large-scale commercial geologic carbon dioxide (CO2) storage hub in central North Dakota to safely and permanently store up to 200 million metric tons of CO2. The proposed storage hub would store up to 8.9 million metric tons per year of CO2 captured from the Coal Creek Station power plant and up to 200,000 metric tons per year of CO2 captured from the Blue Flint Ethanol plant, which is colocated with Coal Creek Station. The proposed project will advance the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) at Coal Creek Station, which would reduce as much as 95% of the CO2 emissions from the plant, representing a 19% reduction of CO2 from North Dakota�s stationary sources.
