CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / November 22, 2022 / Power Kinetic Networks (PKN), and Enerplus Resources (USA) Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enerplus Corporation (Enerplus), are pleased to announce reaching a Memorandum of Understanding for the use of PKN's proprietary and first of its kind, small scale portable Project Gemini low environmental impact carbon capture technologies to reduce the Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Enerplus operated well pads located in the Williston Basin in North Dakota. Funding in part for this project was obtained from a $1 million grant awarded by the North Dakota Industrial Commission and North Dakota Clean Sustainable Energy Authority. PKN and Enerplus wish to acknowledge the support of the North Dakota Government and the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara (MHA) Nation with this innovative project.
The Gemini project trials will assist Enerplus with its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives to reduce GHG emissions by capturing CO2 emitted at the source. PKN will provide two compact, modular 20 tonne carbon dioxide (CO2) per day Gemini carbon capture facilities to recover the CO2 from mobile power generators located at well pads on the MHA Nation for subsequent geologic sequestration. The projected GHG reduction for each PKN Gemini facility (20 tonne CO2e per day) is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions for ~1,400 passenger vehicles or the energy used by ~1,300 homes in one year.1
The first PKN Gemini facility is planned to start operation during the first half of 2023, with the pilot operations assisting with scaling up to commercial units for potential deployment throughout Enerplus' operations. For the Enerplus pilot, PKN has engaged Obsidian Engineering Corp. to assist with constructing the Gemini modules.
