The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO) has issued an Environmental Assessment (EA) and signed mitigated Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to consider the environmental impacts associated with providing potential financial assistance (a federal loan guarantee) for the refurbishment of a gasification facility and construction of a new hydrogen production facility, a CO2 capture facility and CO2 injection and monitoring wells, and an ammonia synthesis facility to produce anhydrous ammonia from petroleum coke and coal in Vigo and Vermillion counties, Indiana.
The documents included on the Environmental Compliance webpages have been posted to comply with applicable environmental requirements as part of LPO’s due diligence process for issuing a Department of Energy loan or loan guarantee. With the exception of a Record of Decision, the posting of these documents should not be construed as recommending a decision about the issuance of a loan or loan guarantee.
