Coal Creek Power Station Carbon Capture and Storage Retrofit

planned

Coal Creek Power Station in North Dakota, owned by Rainbow Energy Center, uses brown coal with a patented drying system to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. The plant is undergoing a retrofit to implement carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to sequester up to 95% of its CO2 emissions, supported by a $38 million US Department of Energy grant and partnerships with the University of North Dakota and Neset Consulting Service. The project aims to store up to 200 million metric tons of CO2 and create long-term and construction jobs, while also integrating with adjacent industries in the Rainbow Energy Park.
