Will DOE’s National Environmental Policy Act study (an environmental impact statement [EIS]) address alternative sites, including alternatives to the Meredosia power plant?
The FGA will identify the CO2 storage hub site and will prepare an Environmental Information Volume (EIV) for that site. The FGA will provide the EIV to DOE for use in its EIS. DOE’s EIS will evaluate the CO2 hub location and the Meredosia Plant as the source for CO2. The EIS will also include a ‘No Build’ option.
