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 Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed. Such tagging will better quantify CO 2 monitoring and make it possible to accurately inventory geologically stored carbon.
