Feds give University of Wyoming $5M more for coal research
U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced Tuesday some $575 million in grants to support carbon capture and sequestration projects as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
It includes an additional $5 million to the University of Wyoming in its efforts to better understand potential CO2 storage in the Moxa Arch and Rock Springs Uplift in southwest Wyoming.
It also includes $5 million to Greenwood Village, Colo.-based North American Power Group, which plans to conduct detailed characterization of potential CO2 storage zones, according to the Department of Energy. North American Power Group has worked for more than 10 years to build its Two Elk coal-fired power plant in the Powder River Basin, but so far the project has not come to fruition.
