UW researchers discover major lithium resource in Wyoming; potential integrated brine production/CO2 storage system

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Wyoming Carbon Management Institute (CMI) discovered a major new lithium resource near Rock Springs during a geological carbon dioxide storage site characterization project sponsored by the US Department of Energy. By comparison, the lithium reserves at Silver Peak, Nev.—the

DOE-sponsored project shows huge potential for carbon storage in Wyoming; potential for lithium recovery to offset cost

Green Car Congress

The Wyoming Rock Springs Uplift could potentially store 14 to 17 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to results from a Department of Energy-sponsored study. The results could also lay the groundwork for a future large-scale carbon capture and storage project in Wyoming.

DOE Regional Partnership Initiates CO2 Injection in Lignite Coal Seam

Green Car Congress

In addition to evaluating the lignite seam’s CO2 storage potential, the enhancement to coalbed methane extraction will also be evaluated. The long-term storage of CO2 by injection in underground geologic reservoirs is expected to play a major role in addressing climate change concerns. In collaboration with Eagle Operating Inc.,
