Focus In Wyoming Remains On Carbon Capture9 Jul 2023 17:47
Just over a week ago Wyoming governor, Mark Gordon re-affirmed his positioning on carbon capture in a big way…
“As the new Chair, Governor Gordon identified carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS) as his Chair’s Initiative.
Explaining his initiative, Governor Gordon explained, “Our world needs energy and a clean environment–neither is well served if we are not honest about consequences and challenges. Ignoring CCUS as a viable option to decarbonize the grid creates an energy gap. Shuttering coal-fired power plants before alternative resources are fully developed will exacerbate power shortages, brownouts and blackouts, higher fuel costs and higher-priced electricity,” he added.
The initiative will explore how CCUS technologies can position Western states at the forefront of emerging carbon markets and reduce the effects of carbon emissions on the environment. Reducing or eliminating carbon dioxide emissions from existing energy platforms, encouraging the development of CO2 for commercial markets, and supporting the storage of CO2 through activities such as sequestration, creating new products, and enhanced oil recovery will help eliminate emissions and remove carbon from the atmosphere.”

The ducks continue to line up for COPL… Also found some information thanks to the research of others that confirms Cole Creek was apart of plans to store and use CO2 on the field for enhanced oil recovery… very interesting :)
