Wood has been selected to provide operations and maintenance solutions for MTR Carbon Capture at the world’s largest membrane-based carbon capture plant in Gillette, Wyoming.
The facility, based at the Wyoming Integrated Test Center (ITC) and managed by the University of Wyoming, is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s large-scale pilot carbon capture program. This initiative aims to advance technologies that enhance the economic and environmental efficiency of point source carbon capture.The plant captures up to 150 tons of CO₂ per day from Basin Electric’s Dry Fork Station coal-fired power plant, with a 90% capture rate.
