The Senator spoke on the Senate floor following President-elect Donald Trump’s remarks on the importance of clean coal, one of the nation’s most reliable, affordable and abundant energy resources, and its role in making the United States energy dominant. Hoeven outlined his work over the past 15 years to advance North Dakota’s leadership in cracking the code on carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies to enable the next generation of clean, coal-fired electric power, including: Putting in place the legal, tax and regulatory requirements to advance CCUS. Making North Dakota the first state to be granted regulatory primacy for Class VI wells, to ensure CO2 is safely and securely stored below the surface. Securing a demonstration grant from the Department of Energy to advance Project Tundra, enabling the coal-fired Milton R. Young power plant to capture and store 4 million metric tons of CO2 per year.

This is about unleashing our nation’s vast coal reserves – one of our country’s most important strategic assets. By leveraging technology and unlocking clean coal’s full potential, we’ll be able to increase the supply of affordable, reliable electricity and bring down prices for American families and businesses,” said Hoeven. “North Dakota is leading the way in clean coal technologies and this will be an important part of our efforts working with the Trump administration to make America not only energy secure, but energy dominant.” -###- | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
