CO2 storage sites to be co-developed in North Dakota

Minnkota Power Cooperative and Summit Carbon Solutions have joined forces to co-develop carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage facilities in North Dakota, near the city of Centre.

Unveiled on Thursday (28^th April), the collaboration provides Summit with access to Minnkota’s already permitted 100-million-tonne capacity CO₂ storage site located in Centre.

Further to this, it also lays the foundation to jointly develop additional CO₂ storage resources nearby, which are estimated to have aggregate CO₂ storage exceeding 200 million tonnes.

Mac McLennan, President and CEO of Minnkota Power, said, “We are joining two of North Dakota’s most prominent industries – agriculture and energy – to substantially lower CO₂ emissions, while helping preserve American energy security.”
