Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The Tri-State Carbon Capture and Storage Hub Project seeks to establish a carbon dioxide storage hub in a three-county area consisting of Harrison County, Ohio; Jefferson County, Ohio; and Hancock County, West Virginia to assist in reducing carbon dioxide emissions in an industrial region of eastern Ohio, the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania.
To support this goal, the project will characterize four stacked geologic reservoir and caprock carbon storage systems to better understand their suitability for carbon dioxide storage and caprock competence.
The project will develop an environmental information volume and characterize the target formations through geophysical (seismic survey) methods and plans for storage site operations, financial plans and arrangements, and commercialization will be completed.
In addition to this, the project will develop a broad engagement effort to promote collaboration among state agencies in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, with the goal of facilitating large scale deployment of carbon capture utilization and storage technologies in the region.
