Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog!
Did anyone
happen to read the Oil & Gas Journal’s Daily Update Newsletter on December
7, 2023, their article titled, “Wolf Carbon Solutions withdraws Mt. Simon CCS
hub application”? In the article, it goes
on to speak about Wolf Carbon Solutions filed a motion to withdraw its application for Mt. Simon HUB
carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project with the Illinois Commerce Commission
(ICC) in November 2023. The Mt. Simon Hub
will be able to transport up to 12-million tonne-per-year (tpy) of carbon
dioxide (CO2) through 280-miles of pipeline to central Illinois to be stored
underground in the Mt. Simon Sandstone geological formation. The CO2 was expected to come from ethanol
plants in Clinton and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Wolf Carbon Solutions withdrew the application to implement some suggestions
from the ICC, and they expect to refile in early 2024. If you would like to read more of the Oil
