  Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. has been active in researching options for carbon dioxide capture, sequestration and beneficial uses. The company has been a member of the Plains CO2 Reduction Partnership since its inception. The partnership pools resources to examine potential uses of carbon dioxide within the company's service territory, such as in enhanced oil recovery efforts in depleted oil fields and in enhanced coalbed natural gas recovery, or sequestering the gas in deep depleted oil fields and saline formations or terrestrially in grasslands.
