Where will CIRI’s UCG facility be located?
CIRI is evaluating its privately-owned land on the west side of Cook Inlet to identify a site with the right characteristics for a UCG with carbon capture development. The site will have a large and productive deeply-buried coal seam overlain by a strong and impermeable layer of rock. The site will be selected for geology and hydrogeology that minimizes risk of environmental contamination. The site will be near existing power and natural gas infrastructure and away from densely populated communities.
