Red Trail Energy, LLC (RTE) is requesting consideration of this application for the geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the RTE ethanol facility located near Richardton, North Dakota. The RTE ethanol facility is a North Dakota-based, investor-owned 64-million-gallon dry mill ethanol production plant, which has been in operation since January 2007. The RTE facility emits an average 180,000 metric tons of high-purity CO2 (>99% CO2 dry) annually from the fermentation process during ethanol production. RTE plans to commercially capture (dehydrate and compress) and inject the 180,000-metric-ton-per-year CO2 stream into the Broom Creek Formation on RTE property for permanent geologic CO2 storage
