Dry Fork Station Could Become World’s Largest Carbon Capture Plant

A research lab located on the doorstep of the Dry Fork Station power plant about 10 miles north of Gillette could become the catalyst for boosting coal burning fuel in the future.

An energy research association and a California filtration business have received millions from the U.S. Department of Energy to continue developing a project in Gillette that could make Dry Fork the largest carbon capture power plant in the world.

A strategic partnership between an energy research organization associated with the University of Wyoming and a California filtration business received $4.6 million Thursday from the U.S. Department of Energy to continue cutting-edge work on capturing and storing carbon dioxide at one of the nation’s youngest coal-fired power plants.
