2024 ND Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Doug Burgum: $350 million Carbon Capture Project for clean coal

Gov. Doug Burgum today applauded the U.S. Department of Energy's decision to award a $350 million Carbon Capture Demonstration Projects Program grant to Minnkota Power Cooperative for its proposed carbon capture project at the Milton R. Young Station near Center. The major DOE grant comes after the North Dakota Industrial Commission, chaired by Burgum, approved a $150 million loan in July for the Minnkota project through the state's Clean Sustainable Energy Authority and $15 million from the state's Lignite Research Fund.

"The technology being developed for Minnkota's project has the potential to be a game-changer for our state, the nation and the world by curbing emissions and ensuring that the reliable, affordable energy we've come to expect from coal continues to keep the lights on," Burgum said. "This promising technology will benefit consumers, the environment and the coal and oil industries that provide thousands of good-paying jobs and billions of dollars in tax revenue.
