Weyburn carbon storage project enters a critical phase
The Weyburn carbon storage project in Saskatchewan, Canada, has entered a critical phase as authorities scramble to respond to claims that toxic amounts of carbon dioxide have leaked out of the ground, contaminating soil and water, killing small animals, and casting doubt on the viability of carbon storage as a technical fix for global warming.
Duke Energy said yesterday that it plans to invest about $121 million to study carbon dioxide storage sites in southwest Indiana.
