Project Tundra is an initiative to utilize carbon capture and storage technologies at Minnkota Power Cooperative’s Milton R. Young Station power generation facility. Up to 5 million metric tons of the facility’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions would be captured annually through the process. Project planners are evaluating two pathways for the captured CO2 – safe and permanent storage in deep geologic formations approximately a mile underground, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods in North Dakota’s nearby oil fields.
