Conference presentation for American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Annual Meeting, Boston, MA and virtual, November 5–11 and 15–19, 2021. As part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) CarbonSAFE program, the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) is conducting commercial-scale site characterization and permitting of up to two geologic horizons for the geologic storage of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. These storage horizons would collectively and permanently store nearly 4 million metric tons (MMt) of CO2 per year captured as part of Minnkota Power Cooperative’s (Minnkota’s) Project Tundra. Minnkota’s ambitious initiative to build the world’s largest postcombustion carbon capture and storage facility in central North Dakota demonstrates the existence of a business case for carbon capture, and storage (CCS).
