University of Utah scientist Brian McPherson gets $5 million DOE grant to study CO2 storage

University of Utah scientist Brian McPherson was surprised this week when he heard that the U.S. Department of Energy awarded him $5 million.

His project: evaluate rock formations around the West that potentially can serve as underground storage sites for carbon dioxide.

The award was part of $575 million in grants announced by the DOE that are to be used for 22 carbon-capture research-and-development projects in 15 states.
