Wyoming Governor Matt Mead recently announced the opening of the application process for researchers and potential tenants at the Wyoming Integrated Test Center (ITC). The ITC is being built at Basin Electric Power Cooperatives’ Dry Fork Station near Gillette. Its goal is to advance Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies.
The Wyoming ITC issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify candidates and select initial users of test bays. Interested parties may obtain and submit applications at www.wyomingitc.org.
The RFP gives interested parties the opportunity to "lease," at no cost, a test bay with flue gas slipstream from a coal-fired power plant in a competitive process. The ITC will provide developers of advanced post-combustion CO2 capture technologies a place to test equipment and processes in a real-world commercial facility.
Individuals and groups in private industry, government agencies, government laboratories, university faculty and staff may submit proposals. Proposals are due to the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority by December 12, 2016. The ITC is expected to be available in late 2017.
For more on the ITC and information on the process, please visit www.wyomingitc.org or contact Jason Begger, Executive Director of the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority, at jason.begger@wyo.gov or 307-635-3573.
