Tenaska is developing a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project that would serve emissions customers in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. As proposed, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from these facilities would be captured and transported to geologically secure underground storage locations in the Tri-State area. Storage hubs are under consideration in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

CCS projects like this help businesses address growing environmental regulations and remain stable regional employers, while also bringing economic benefits to the community.

Our team looks forward to working with area leaders, landowners and community members to create a CCS project that is safe and mutually beneficial.

Phases of a CCS Project

1

Pre-Development (3-5 years)

Acquire land for injection well sites and perform preliminary land studies — Tenaska is currently in this phase

2

Development (1 year)

Perform engineering and environmental studies, obtain necessary permits, secure emissions customers

3

Construction (1 year)

Hire contractors, drill injection wells, connect pipeline from storage area to emissions customers

4

Operation (30+ years)

Monitor storage site 24/7

5

Long-Term Storage

Plug and monitor injection wells for a period of time specified by the EPA

Carbon Capture and Storage 101

Over 35 years of experience

Going Above and Beyond
