The primary objective of the Uinta Basin CarbonSAFE phase II project is to establish the technical and economic feasibility of a commercial-scale CO₂ geological storage complex in the northeast Uinta Basin, Utah, to sequester at least 50 million metric tons of captured CO₂ securely and economically from the Deseret Power Electric Cooperative Bonanza Power Plant and other sources in 30 years.

This project seeks to establish feasibility of commercial storage with high-resolution societal analysis, geological characterization, technical analysis, economic evaluation, and environmental analysis. This project will accelerate the Deseret Power’s assessment of commercial-scale CO₂ capture, combine additional CO₂ sources in the area for a storage hub development, and accelerate economic transition and growth in the communities that have historically been impacted by fossil fuel production.
