LINCOLN — The Battelle Memorial Institute and the Great Plains Institute invite you to attend the second webinar of this series, on July 21, 2020, at 10:30 AM CDT, focused on carbon capture, utilization, and storage opportunities in Nebraska. This three-part webinar series will dive into:
- Basics about carbon capture technology
- Specific applications for carbon capture, including ethanol, power plants and other industrial sources
- Technical and economic considerations for different projects
- Geology of Nebraska and prospects for geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and enhanced oil recovery
- National and regional infrastructure planning initiatives to improve the transportation of CO₂ and better connect Nebraska CO₂ sources, sinks, and markets
- Policy drivers for carbon capture, including clean fuels policies, the federal 45Q tax credit, and national infrastructure policy
- Stakeholder-led carbon capture initiatives in other states
The webinar series is co-hosted by the Nebraska Conservation and Survey Division, Nebraska Ethanol Board, Nebraska Public Power District, Regional Deployment Initiative, and Renewable Fuels Nebraska.
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage presents numerous economic and environmental benefits for Nebraska. For ethanol plants, it offers economic value for a waste product and additional value in clean fuels markets. For power plants, it can aid in decarbonization efforts and offer grid assets as the energy system transforms over time. Through carbon capture, Nebraska can spur the development of new industries including carbon dioxide (CO₂) enhanced oil recovery, direct air capture, and synthetic fuels and products from CO₂. As our country shifts focus toward economic recovery from COVID-19 in the coming weeks and months, these economic opportunities are more important than ever before.
