carbon capture

University of Wyoming scientists and industry professionals working on the Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise project launched in 2016 with an 18-month investigation into the geology near Gillette.

The Gillette News Record reported that committee chairman and Republican U.S. Sen. John Barrasso heard testimony from three carbon energy experts.

The paper looks at the economic and environmental benefits through economies of the scale to meet the U.S. mid-century decarbonization goals.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Japan Coal Energy Center signed an agreement.

Wyoming is the nation's top coal-producing state.

Officials say research would begin at the Dave Johnston power plant in Glenrock and the Naughton power plant in Kemmerer.

Researchers plan to collect 3D seismic data later this year.
