WVU and partners to study geothermal energy, carbon capture
Wednesday, May 3, 2023
The West Virginia University Energy Institute is leading a study in collaboration with Northeast Natural Energy and the U.S. Department of Energy to explore the potential of geothermal energy and carbon capture technologies, according to WAJR.
WVU researchers will study data collected from a 15,000-foot-deep geothermal, carbon capture and storage well, which will be the first of its kind in West Virginia. The drill site is an existing well pad at the Morgantown Industrial Park, operated by Northeast Natural Energy.
The study will also provide West Virginia’s first opportunity to collect data on the feasibility of carbon capture technology within the state.
