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) for Wabash Valley Resources, LLC – Wabash Hydrogen Energy Center Project (DOE/EA-2301). The EA assesses the potential environmental impacts associated with providing potential financial assistance (a federal loan guarantee) for the development of the Wabash Facility, two CO2 injection well sites, and two formation monitoring (FM) wells.
The Wabash Facility will have a refurbished gasification plant, hydrogen production and carbon capture facilities, an ammonia synthesis facility, and various pieces of support infrastructure, including CO2 and ammonia storage and transport facilities, a hydrogen fueling facility, laydown yards/parking areas, a petroleum coke (petcoke) and coal storage area and conveyor system, and raw water intake and treatment systems. Wabash Valley Resources, LLC (WVR) proposes constructing the Wabash Facility at the former WRCGRDP location at 444 West Sandford Avenue in West Terre Haute. The two CO2 injection well sites and two FM wells will be constructed at four designated locations in Vigo and Vermillion Counties.
