The Big Sky Carbon Sequestration Partnership (BSCSP) is part of Montana State University’s Energy Research Institute. The partnership is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of seven regional carbon sequestration partnerships. Our team engages key stakeholders to help determine or identify the best approaches for permanently storing regional carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. BSCSP relies on existing technologies from the fields of engineering, geology, chemistry, biology, geographic information systems (GIS) and economics to develop novel approaches for both geologic and terrestrial carbon storage in our region. The BSCSP region encompasses Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, South Dakota, eastern Washington and Oregon.
