Federal agency says Alaska’s coastline has potential for more renewable energy, carbon storage projects

A little-known federal agency called Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has a big role in regulating nearly 7,000 miles of coastline in Alaska.

Last week, the bureau’s Regional Director Givey Kochanowski and Public Affairs Officer John Callahan met with dozens of lawmakers in Juneau. They also met with KTOO reporter Anna Canny, who asked them about the emergence of new technologies like offshore renewable energy and carbon storage projects in the state.https://media.ktoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/11-BOEM.wavGood morning. I’m Givey Kochanowski. I’m the Regional Director for the Alaska region of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

Thanks for joining me this morning. So I want to start off just for some of our listeners who haven’t heard of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Could you give us a little rundown of some of the work your agency does?We were created by Congress, originally to economically and environmentally friendly developed the Outer Continental Shelf, and those means the federal waters of the United States. And here in Alaska and elsewhere, that begins three miles offshore.

last session. So what will BOEM’s role be in, in safely rolling out those types of projects in the state?If you look at a map of the state, many of the areas in coastal Alaska that fall in the federal jurisdiction, are very well suited for carbon storage — so the Cook Inlet and Northwestern Alaska — I think this is an exciting time to be in this space to be in the ground level of it.
