    Gift Supports Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage

    A $250,000 gift to the University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources from energy infrastructure leader Williams will advance carbon capture, utilization and storage within the state and beyond.

    This gift supports the newly created Carbon Dioxide Storage Excellence Fund, which will provide increased flexibility in addressing key challenges for the near, medium and long term. Most immediately, the excellence fund will provide support needed for current projects to transition from research and demonstration to commercialization. The charitable contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the state of Wyoming and will jump-start the program with immediately expendable funds.
