A New Project in the Tri-State.
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.
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
Pre-development
2-3 years
Acquire land for injection well
sites and perform preliminary land
studies — Tenaska is currently in this phase
Development
1 year
Perform engineering and environmental studies, obtain necessary permits, secure emissions customer
Construction
1 year
Hire contractors, drill
injection wells, connect pipeline from storage area to emissions customer
Operation
30+ years
Monitor storage
site 24/7
Long-Term Storage
Plug and monitor injection wells for
a period of time
specified by the EPA
