Minnkota Power, Summit Carbon Solutions launch CO2 storage partnership

April 29, 2022

Minnkota Power Cooperative and Summit Carbon Solutions have agreed to co-develop carbon dioxide storage facilities near Center, North Dakota.

The partnership builds on development already in the works. Minnkota and Summit have been working independently on developing their respective carbon capture and storage projects.

Minnkota’s Project Tundra aims to install carbon capture technologies at the Milton R. Young Station in North Dakota. The station is a two-unit, 705-MW lignite coal-burning plant. Unit 1 became operational 50 years ago, while Unit 2 began generating electricity seven years later. It is a primary generating facility for Minnkota, which hopes carbon capture could contain up to 90 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions from the Unit 2 generation.
