Become a Partner

The PCOR Partnership region has many opportunities for researching and facilitating CO₂ sequestration. The members of the PCOR Partnership are collaborating to lay the groundwork for efficient and environmentally sound sequestration activities.

The PCOR Partnership currently has over 80 partners representing public agencies, utilities, oil and gas companies, engineering firms, associations and nonprofit organizations, and universities.

The PCOR Partnership is one of seven regional partnerships under the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (RCSP) Program, which represents more than 340 organizations in 41 states, three Indian nations, and four Canadian provinces.

"Joining the Plains [CO2 Reduction] Partnership is an approach that will dovetail nicely with our own carbon management policy and other carbon sequestration projects."

- Xcel Energy Chairman and CEO Wayne Brunetti
