The nearly $3.5 million grant will allow the EERC at UND to establish a field laboratory in the South Central Cut Bank oil field in north central Montana to test the geological storage of carbon dioxide, with the goal of advancing similar storage in the Williston Basin. 2 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Minnkota Power (Grand Forks) is a big push behind enhanced (CO2 based) oil recovery. They'd be grabbing off-gas from their stacks (Young Station) and compressing it to CO2 and selling it to the CO2 injectors. Selling what is normally waste, that sounds good for Minnkota, right? You missed the real reason: No atmospheric (CO2) emissions from Minnkota's coal plants. Project Tundra Quote

It had a lot of accolades for trying from Green investors, as it shifted from fracking to CO2 recovery, and its stock has dropped from $17 to $1.10 in five years. CO2 recovery may sound great, but it depends on geology to work, which is far from certain. https://www.denbury.com/investor-relations/press-releases/press-release-details/2018/Denbury-Resources-Sanctions-Cedar-Creek-Anticline-CO2-EOR-Development/default.aspx Here is an article from Motley Fool extolling Denbury earlier this decade.

Is this your answer? https://www.grandforksherald.com/business/agriculture/6897562-Agribusiness-announces-2-billion-project-to-store-captured-carbon-from-ethanol-in-North-Dakota This is a long article with a ton of info, some Snippets: ALDEN, Iowa — Although final details and permits have yet to be worked out, an Iowa agribusiness company announced plans on Friday, Feb. 19, to build a $2 billion pipeline network that will carry liquefied carbon dioxide from ethanol plants in four states to underground storage in North Dakota. Twenty ethanol plants, and possibly 20 more in the longer term, agreed to join the company in its venture that will reduce the carbon footprint at the plants by the equivalent of taking 2 million cars off the road or sequestering about 10 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. He also didn't release the location of the large underground saline formations for storage in North Dakota. An estimated 10 wells would be constructed on the sites to put the carbon dioxide underground. North Dakota was selected for storage because of those geologic formations and also because of favorable regulations for drilling the wells into the formations, Kirchhoff said. In an email, Hoeven said the Plains CO2 Reduction Partnership led by the University of North Dakota's Energy & Environmental Research Center has studied and evaluated the pore space throughout the state to determine where geologic storage can be done safely. He also said there is a state legal and regulatory system to ensure companies store the carbon dioxide properly and the wells are maintained over the long term. Landowners will also receive a financial benefit as they will be compensated for pore space used for storage. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 My guess is the EERC's work with Minnkota Power on Project Tundra helped with some of the geologic storage concerns. Quote
nodak651 Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 I think I read NDSU is going to be reclassified back to R1. Anyone know how UND stands in that regard, or where total research value for the year is released? Quote
