In a news release, Battelle said, “Due to business considerations, Greenville, Ohio, is no longer being considered for a carbon sequestration project.”
The news ended 14 months of protest by Citizens Against Carbon Sequestration. The group protested the unknowns of what the future could bring if CO2 waste would be allowed 3.500 feet below ground.
The group used yard signs, public meetings and commission meetings, along with a prayer rally to gain public support.
A recent poll showed that more than 90 percent of those who participated in the poll were against carbon sequestration.
