The vision for Project Tundra is to advance next-generation carbon capture and storage technologies at the separately-owned Milton R. Young Station power generation facility. Up to 4 million metric tons of the facility’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions would be captured annually through the process. The CO2 would then be safely and permanently stored in deep geologic formations approximately a mile underground.
Million metric tons of CO2 captured annually
Years of recoverable coal reserves in North Dakota
Billion tons of CO2 storage capacity in North Dakota
Billion dollars of capital investment
This project is a shining example of how industries can reduce emissions while investing in baseload generation to preserve reliable, low-cost energy for consumers. - North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum
