Hopi Council approves carbon capture storage project

USGS photo
Coal-fired power plants emit billions of tons of toxic carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere each year. The Hopi Tribe recently approved exploratory drilling to potentially allow a controversial new method called Carbon Capture Sequestration (CCS) to store CO2 produced by nearby power plants underground on Hopi lands.

KYKOTSMOVI, Ariz. - In a surprise move, the Hopi Tribal Council approved a controversial project giving four western energy companies and the Hopi Tribe the go-ahead to evaluate geologic characteristics of the Black Mesa Basin for potential commercial storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a new method known as carbon capture sequestration (CCS). The proposed project seeks to drill a series of exploration wells on Hopi land to collect and analyze geological, geophysical and water quality data to determine if the rock strata is hospitable enough to store toxic CO2 extracted from coal plant emissions underground on Hopi and near Navajo reservation communities.
