GREENVILLE: A partner in a $92.8 million proposal to inject carbon dioxide underground in western Ohio says the project has been abandoned.
Battelle Memorial Institute says the decision is based on business considerations.
The project would have injected carbon dioxide from an ethanol plant near Greenville more than 3,000 feet underground.
The project had drawn growing opposition from local officials and state representatives. Opponents say they feared an impact on property values and potential seismic activity.
Most of the project's funding, $61 million, would have come from the federal government. The Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership, managed by Battelle of Columbus, would have contributed $32 million, including $3 million in state funding.
