DCNR Accepting Bids to Collect Data, Study Possibility of Storing Carbon Underground

Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Michael DiBerardinis announced today that the department is undertaking the next step in its innovative work to reduce the amount of climate-changing greenhouse gases that reach the atmosphere.
The department is requesting bids on a package of four contracts that will examine geologic information to determine whether any suitable areas in the state exist to store carbon dioxide underground.
The carbon dioxide would be captured and collected from coal-fired electricity generating plants and other industrial sources, a process known as geologic carbon sequestration. (Click here for full announcement.)
