VALLEY CITY, N.D. (WWGO) – A presentation titled “Project Tundra—Can It Reduce Climate Change?” will be held on Monday, April 4 at 7 pm in the Auditorium of the Rhoades Science Center on the campus of Valley City State University in Valley City, ND. The event is sponsored by “What in the World Is Going On?” (WWGO.)

Sonja Kaye will present Project Tundra which is a bold initiative to build the world’s largest carbon capture facility in North Dakota. She is a member of the Dakota Resource Council and a liaison to CLEAN (Fargo’s Citizen’s Local Energy Action Network). She is a full time advocate for clean and renewable energy at home. She drives an electric car and uses off-grid renewable energy in her Fargo home and lake home.

To reduce climate change we must reduce the amount of carbon put into the air or take out carbon that already is in the air. Project Tundra technologies are being designed to capture 90% of the CO2 produced from either generator at the Milton R. Young Coal Station.

As the world focuses on reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is emitted into the atmosphere, CO2 capture and storage technologies have become increasingly important. If successful, Project Tundra could be used as a blueprint to advance these next-generation technologies that help produce reliable, affordable and increasingly clean energy.

Come and learn exactly what Project Tundra is, whether it is cost effective and can really work. And ask the question…where can this carbon be stored?

This program on Project Tundra is the 3rd in a series of programs about Climate Change. It is sponsored by WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON? which is a VCSU campus and community group. WHAT IN THE WORLD began shortly after 911 for the purpose of addressing issues of local, national and international importance.

There is one additional Climate Change programs coming up after this one: On Monday, April 25: “Can ND be carbon neutral by 2030: Governor Burgum’s Plan.” Presented by Rich Garman from the ND Dept of Commerce. Everyone is invited to attend these free climate change events. For more information call 701-845-7321 or look on Facebook.
