Tenaska WV CCS Test Wells Get Pushback from Commissioner, Antis

In October of last year, MDN told you that both EQT Corporation and Tenaska are “dipping their toes” in the carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) space (see Tenaska & EQT Dip Toe in CCS Waters, Wells Coming in 5-10 Years). Tenaska is one of the country’s largest privately held companies, with its fingers in several energy pies, including natural gas marketing, power marketing, and power generation. Although “still years away” from a fully operational CCS project, Tenaska is about to drill its first test well in Hancock County, West Virginia, which we told you about in June (see Tenaska Set to Dig Test Well for Carbon Capture Storage in WV). Anti-fossil fuel groups and even a Republican Hancock County Commissioner are actively trying to block the Tenaska project.
