Integrated Test Center to be Located at Basin Electric’s Dry Creek Station
Basin Electric Power Cooperative’s (Basic Electric) Dry Fork Station near Gillette, WY will be home to the new Integrated Test Center (ITC). The research at the ITC will lead to new opportunities in petrochemicals and other commercial uses for carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants. Mike Easley, Chairman of the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority, says: “We have a real opportunity to take the CO2 from coal emissions and transform them from a liability into valuable products.”
