A North Dakota utility cooperative will receive up to $100 million in federal aid to finance research into an experimental process to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said Wednesday.
Chu, during a visit to Bismarck State College, said stimulus money from the U.S. Energy Department will help pay for a project to reduce carbon dioxide pollution at a Basin Electric Power Cooperative http://www.basinelectric.com/ plant in west-central North Dakota. The Bismarck-based cooperative provides power to more than 120 rural electric systems in nine states.
