August 2, 2024 - The Bureau of Land Management is extending the public comment period on a draft environmental assessment that considers a right of way for the Southwest Wyoming CO2 Sequestration Project proposed by Moxa Carbon Storage, LLC. The comment period will now end on Aug. 30.  

If approved, the project would store carbon dioxide permanently in nearly 605,100 acres of sub-surface federal pore space beneath Lincoln, Sweetwater, and Uinta counties.? ? 

Carbon sequestration is the process of injecting carbon dioxide—the most common greenhouse gas—deep underground, permanently preventing it from entering the atmosphere and contributing to the climate crisis. BLM reviews proposals for the geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide, one of many potential solutions to help combat atmospheric carbon pollution on public lands, following policy issued in June 2022.
