The Southern States Energy Board (SSEB) has been selected to lead two new DOE-funded decarbonization projects. The first project, Project ACCESS, aims to establish a commercial-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub in south Florida. The second project, the Tri-State CCS Hub, seeks to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in an industrial region of eastern Ohio, the adjacent northern panhandle of West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania. Both projects will utilize advanced geophysical methods to assess the suitability of storage sites and will engage with the local communities to address environmental concerns.
