Interior advances Wyoming carbon storage project
A carbon project in southwestern Wyoming took a step forward last week as the Interior Department authorized its use of underground storage and said further environmental review won't be required.
The sign-off from Interior's Bureau of Land Management will allow Frontier Carbon Solutions to store carbon dioxide across 44,350 acres of federal pore space in Wyoming.
Frontier is slated to be the operator of the site, which is called the Sweetwater Carbon Storage Hub CO2 sequestration project. An affiliated company, Pond Field, submitted the application to BLM.

The right-of-way approval was based on 'a lack of potential significant impacts' and meeting the project's purpose and need, the agency's Kemmerer Field Office said in a decision record.
