Red Hills CO2 Storage Hub

Red Hills CO2 Storage Hub (RHCSH) Feasibility Study: Trifecta Renewable Solutions and project partners intend to develop a storage complex feasibility project and create the RHCSH at the Red Hills Mine in Ackerman, Mississippi. Supported by the Tennessee Valley Authority, the owner and the operator of the Ackerman Combined Cycle Plant, and Mississippi Lignite Mining Company, the owner and the operator of the Red Hills Mine, the hub is planned to store 1.8 million Mt of CO2 annually from the 705-megawatt (MW) Ackerman plant located adjacent to the proposed storage hub. The project aims to confirm the proposed hub’s suitability for commercial-scale and safe CO2 storage. A preliminary geologic assessment in the Ackerman area concluded potential storage formations exist with suitable salinity, porosity, permeability, and overlying/underlying sealing formations for CO2 storage. The geological characterization activities undertaken will determine these controlling parameters. DOE Funding: $9,000,000, Non-DOE Funding: $2,498,000, Total: $11,498,0000
