The Wyoming Pipeline Corridor Initiative aims to expand the state’s pipeline infrastructure and help energy companies transport carbon dioxide for use in oil and gas development.
The researchers hope to eventually store millions of tons of carbon dioxide underground.
Established under the Obama administration, the Clean Power Plan regulated greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, the nation’s second-largest source of planet-warming gas. But in 2019, Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency replaced this plan with a new rule designed to protect the coal industry while backing away from emissions reductions. Whereas the Clean Power Plan was expected to reduce emissions by about 30% by 2030, EPA projections suggest the replacement rule might reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 0.7%, or possibly not at all.
"Deciding to stay here has had me thinking about what Wyoming will be like in the future with the way we are digging up coal, oil, gas, and fossil fuels," Amber Rouse says.
