The U.S. Department of Energy has announced that it will contribute about $98 million to help create a carbon storage hub at the BP Refinery in Whiting, Ind.
The entire project — dubbed “Project Crossroads” — is expected to cost close to $138 million. Through the capture and storage of up to 23 million tons of carbon emissions each year in underground wells, officials said they hope to lessen greenhouse gas emissions.
The captured carbon would then be transported by pipeline to sites downstate.

The U.S. Department of Energy will supply $98.24 million for a carbon storage hub at the BP Whiting Refinery that could lessen the greenhouse gas emissions of the heavy industry along Northwest Indiana's lakefront.
