BISMARCK – The Energy Department says Basin Electric Power Cooperative will get up to $100 million in federal stimulus money to reduce carbon dioxide emissions at a coal-fired power plant northwest of Bismarck.
Federal Energy Secretary Steven Chu calls it a big step in the fight to reduce emissions from coal-based power plants.
Officials say Basin plans to use ammonia-based technology to capture carbon dioxide at its Antelope Valley Station near Beulah.
