摘要

The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy is cancelling the environmental impact statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) for the Mountaineer Commercial Scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project in Mason County, WV (DOE/EIS-0445). DOE selected this project proposed by American Electric Power (AEP) under the Round 3 solicitation of the Clean Coal Power Initiative. DOE's proposed action was to provide $334 million in cost-shared financial assistance to AEP to support the construction and operation of AEP's proposed project.
