Prairie Horizon Carbon Management Hub
The Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), with support from the North Dakota Industrial Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy, evaluated the potential for the development of a large-scale carbon management hub (CMH) in Stark County, North Dakota. The objective of the Prairie Horizon CMH project is to build public confidence to benefit and accelerate commercial carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) deployment. Findings from this investigation can facilitate project development by informing early-stage decision-making related to site selection, stakeholder engagement, understanding risks, and permitting readiness.
