Description
Project Tundra is a CCS that will be developed adjacent to the Milton R. Young Station, a coal-fired power plant near Center, North Dakota.
The captured CO2 will be permanently stored in saline geologic formations beneath and surrounding the power plant.
Project Tundra is led by the project sponsors of Dakota Carbon Center East Project LLC, which includes Minnkota Power Cooperative and TC Energy, and was formed to facilitate investment in and development of Project Tundra.
In December 2023, the project was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations for $350m in funding.
