ROUGHRIDER CARBON STORAGE HUB THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF DEVELOPING A COMMERCIAL-SCALE CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) GEOLOGIC STACKED STORAGE COMPLEX ABLE TO STORE 50+ MILLION METRIC TONS OF CO2 OVER A 30-YEAR TIMEFRAME IN NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA. A STRATIGRAPHIC TEST WELL WILL BE DRILLED TO DETERMINE ROCK PROPERTIES, WHICH WILL BE USED FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION OF AN INJECTED CO2 PLUME OVER TIME. THESE MODELS AND SIMULATIONS WILL SERVE AS THE BASIS OF THE CLASS VI UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL (UIC) PERMIT APPLICATION WHICH WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA WHICH HAS CLASS VI PRIMACY FROM THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (US EPA).
