Minnkota Power Cooperative has partnered with Reliant Carbon Capture & Storage to revive Project Tundra, a carbon capture initiative at a North Dakota coal-fired power plant, aiming to reduce emissions by 95% and potentially supply CO2 for enhanced oil recovery, supported by $205 million in recommended state loans.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your carbon capture project just got a fast track with state loans and a new technical partner reducing costs and construction time sharply. This opens a direct line to the Bakken oilfields for CO2 sales or safe underground storage, shifting risks off your balance sheet and onto Reliant.
