Project captures and stores one million tons of carbon

摘要

The Department of Energy's Illinois Basin-Decatur Project successfully captured and stored one million metric tons of carbon dioxide and injected it into a deep saline formation. The project is part of the development phase of the Department's Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships initiative, which is helping develop and deploy carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies across the country, and continuing the United States on a path towards a low carbon future.
