GOLDEN, COLO. (AP) -- The Colorado School of Mines in Golden will receive a $510,000 federal grant to help develop technologies to store carbon dioxide in geologic formations as part of efforts to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
The Department of Energy Wednesday announced the award of a total of $21.3 million over three years to 15 projects nationwide.
The School of Mines says its project's aim is to improve the understanding of the geology's effect on the mechanism of trapping carbon dioxide. The research is expected to lead to more realistic predictions of storage capacity and the risk of leaking.
