Innovation starts here
Project Tundra is a bold initiative to build one of the world's largest carbon capture facilities in North Dakota.

Innovative technologies are being designed to capture up to 4 million metric tons of the CO2 produced from the Milton R. Young Station. North Dakota-based Minnkota Power Cooperative is leading the project, along with research support from the Energy & Environmental Research Center at the University of North Dakota.

About Project Tundra

Capturing CO2

As the world focuses on reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is emitted into the atmosphere, CO2 capture and storage technologies have become increasingly important. If successful, Project Tundra could be used as a blueprint to advance these next-generation technologies that help produce reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy.

SaFe and permanent CO2 Storage

Ideal Geology

North Dakota's geology is ideal for safe and permanent geologic storage of CO2. A deep porous rock layer will hold the CO2 more than a mile underground and overlying cap rock layers will seal the CO2 in the storage zone.
