ND a leader in cracking CCUS code

U.S. Senator John Hoeven says energy security is national security and North Dakota is well positioned to be a leader in cracking the code on carbon capture…utilization…and storage.

Hoeven told those attending the Energizing Conference at UND’s EERC this week that the technology will ensure Americans have access to affordable…reliable electricity by continuing to utilize vast coal resources.

The senator says the challenge is to make the technology commercially viable.  “We’ve got to get the administration to help out…not hinder.  They can’t just talk about replacing CO2 they need to help with front-end funding and loan guarantees so the companies can put the technology on.”

Hoeven says cracking the code is good for North Dakota and important for the country.
