Summit Carbon Solutions is developing the largest carbon capture and storage project in the world
Summit Carbon Solutions has announced a new partnership with Northern Plains Nitrogen (NPN) in its carbon capture and storage project, which is focused on decarbonising the agriculture and biofuels industries.
NPN is developing a world-scale blue ammonia plant near Grand Forks, North Dakota, which will supply a range of low carbon nitrogen-based fertilizer products to farmers in under-served markets in the northern United States and Canada. The project site has been acquired and necessary permits have been received to begin site work.
Summit Carbon Solutions is developing the largest carbon capture and storage project in the world, which will have the capacity to capture and permanently store 12 million tons of carbon dioxide every year.
“NPN and Summit Carbon Solutions share the same goal of lowering the carbon footprint of agriculture while supporting farmers,” said Jim Pirolli, Chief Commercial Officer of Summit Carbon Solutions.
NPN will capture 500,000 tons per year of carbon dioxide emissions, which Summit Carbon Solutions will transport and store permanently in central North Dakota.
North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum said, “As the first state in the nation to achieve primacy over carbon capture permitting, North Dakota is well-positioned to lead the nation in carbon capture, utilisation and storage. We’re grateful for this investment by Northern Plains Nitrogen and Summit Carbon Solutions as we seek to grow our agriculture, energy and bio-fuels industries with environmental stewardship and positive economic impact for generations to come.”
