DOE-sponsored project shows huge potential for carbon storage in Wyoming; potential for lithium recovery to offset cost

Green Car Congress

The Wyoming Rock Springs Uplift could potentially store 14 to 17 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to results from a Department of Energy-sponsored study. For every 1 million metric tons of CO 2 stored, approximately 250 metric tons of lithium carbonate, with an approximate market value of $1.6

DOE Regional Partnership Initiates CO2 Injection in Lignite Coal Seam

Green Car Congress

A US Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) team of regional partners has begun injecting CO 2 into a deep lignite coal seam in Burke County, North Dakota, to demonstrate the economic and environmental viability of geologic CO 2 storage in the US Great Plains region.
