Dr. Eric Robertson will present “Economic Analysis of Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Powder River Basin Coal” at the Wyoming Geological Association’s luncheon on Friday, September 24, 2021 at noon (MDT)
Coalbeds too deep to be economically mined are potentially large storage reservoirs for the sequestration of anthropogenic CO2 and offer the benefit of enhanced methane production, which can offset some of the costs associated with CO2 sequestration. The objective of this talk is to present results of work studying the economic feasibility of CO2 sequestration in unminable coal seams in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming.
To listen to Dr. Robertson’s presentation via Zoom, please RSVP to

Williams is leveraging its existing pipeline network to bring clean hydrogen to market.
Earlier this year, Williams was awarded a $997,734 grant to develop a feasibility study with UW’s School of Energy Resources to evaluate water access and compatibility needed for hydrogen production. Williams plans to use excess energy produced by wind farms to produce hydrogen which can then be blended and transported through existing natural gas pipelines.
“The ability to produce clean hydrogen and blend into our large existing system in southwest Wyoming is a significant advantage and has the potential to accelerate the use of hydrogen in reducing carbon emissions,” Williams stated.

Wyoming has invested millions of dollars in projects to capture, transport and store CO2 as a solution to keep Wyoming’s economy going while avoiding catastrophic impacts from climate change legislation.
Wyoming hopes to reach zero emissions while simultaneously continuing coal, oil and gas production. Many environmental groups, as well as the United Nations, support carbon capture as a critical measure to reduce atmospheric CO2. A bipartisan infrastructure bill is moving through the House and includes billions of dollars to capture carbon emissions, the largest-ever federal investment in such technology.

Wyoming is among the top six energy producing states accounting for 55% of all the primary energy produced in the U.S.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that primary energy production grew 40% from 2009-2019 made possible through advancements in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling making previously inaccessible crude oil and natural gas more economical in the U.S. Wyoming accounts for over 100, 000 barrels of oil produced in 2019.

The U.S. Interior Department will evaluate more than 700,000 acres of land for potential auction of which most, 560,000 acres, is in Wyoming.
The sales planned for early 2022 will offer parcels that had been scheduled to be offered earlier this year before the Biden administration ordered a pause on new oil and gas leases during Biden’s first week in office.
