The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) awarded a $69,060,830 Cooperative Agreement through the Fossil Energy Research and Development (CFDA 81.089) program to the Southern States Energy Board (SSEB) to establish a carbon dioxide (CO2) storage hub in a tri-state region of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
The project aims to characterize geologic formations for CO2 storage, develop environmental assessments and operational plans, and facilitate multi-state collaboration to enable large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage deployment in the region. Key activities include conducting geophysical surveys, reservoir characterization, and commercial/financial planning. The project also involves sub-awards to partner organizations like The Ohio State University, West Virginia University Research Corporation, and West Virginia Geological Survey to provide specialized geological expertise, research, and analytical services in support of the hub development.
