Announced Projects to date
Corpus Christi Offshore
Together with Repsol, POSCO International and Mitsui, Carbonvert is developing an offshore CO2 capture and storage facility in Texas State Waters, in close proximity to several key industrial emitters. The 140,000 offshore acres in the Gulf of Mexico has a total projected CO2 storage capacity exceeding more than 600 million metric tons.
Shared infrastructure opportunities:
For this project, Carbonvert, Repsol, Mitsui and POSCO International are seeking development and infrastructure efficiencies where possible, seeking to leverage work across their individual portfolios where applicable.
Corpus Christi, TX
- 140,000 acres offshore
- 20+ million metric tons of CO2/year injection capability
- 5,000 - 7,000 ft below ocean bottom
Cameron Parish CO₂ Hub
Carbonvert and CASTEX Energy are developing a 24,000 acre tract of pore space offshore near Cameron Parish, Louisiana for CO₂ storage. The Cameron Parish CO₂ Hub will permanently sequester captured CO₂ more than a mile beneath the ocean floor. Based on the region's advantageous subsurface geology, the project has a total storage capacity of more than two hundred and fifty million metric tons.
Leverage existing infrastructure:
Carbonvert and Castex are exploring opportunities to repurpose existing pipeline infrastructure to support project development
Cameron Parish, LA
- 24,000 acres offshore
- 250+ million metric tons of projected CO2 capacity total
- 2027 first injection target
Carbonplex™
Carbonplex™ is a world-class industrial park developed with carbon management in mind. Prospective tenants located within a Carbonplex site or location gain access to Carbonvert’s CO2 capture, treatment, transport and removal services as well as existing utilities and logistics partnerships and infrastructure that meets their needs.
Incubation center for decarbonization efforts:
Carbonplex Port Arthur also serves as an opportunity for existing tenants or future lessees to explore and demonstrate decarbonization projects at-scale, with Carbonvert as a partner and advocate.
Measured, monitored, verified:
Carbonvert uses state-of-the-art monitoring technologies to validate CO2 capture and transport, and help Carbonplex lessees meet their environmental commitments.
Port Arthur, TX
- 350 acre industrial park with built-in carbon management solutions
- Approx. 5+ million metric tons of CO2/year to be captured and transported from onsite facilities per Carbonplex site or location
- Planned transport and interconnect to third-party CCS facilities
Wyoming Trails Carbon Hub
With a total of $5.5 million award from the US Department of Energy across two projects, the overall program will also serve as a roadmap and open-access resource for future carbon management and infrastructure developments.
Key to Wyoming’s sustainability goals:
The Wyoming Trails Carbon Hub is a key component of the state’s pursuit of being the first fully carbon-negative state, and working to support a sustainable energy supply for Wyoming and its neighbors.
Future-Forward Carbon Hub:
The Wyoming Trails Carbon Hub aims to address our net-zero economy challenges by developing forward-looking plans and supporting greenfield projects that can manage our carbon now and into the future.
Sweetwater County, WY
- $5.5 million total award from U.S. Dept. of Energy award
- Will provide a desktop FEED study on an open access, common carrier CO2 pipeline system with nominal capacity of 25 MtCO2/yr
- Will build the business case and feasibility study for >45 MtCO2/yr capacity system
- Transport and storage infrastructure
Nuclear Direct Air Capture with Carbon Storage Pilot
Carbonvert, along with Battelle, Southern Company, Sargent & Lundy and the University of Alabama, are collaborating on an exploratory study for the direct air capture and storage of CO2 emissions from a nuclear power plant. The project was awarded $2.5 million from the US Department of Energy in September 2022. This FEED study for a direct air capture system is co-located with Southern Company’s Joseph M. Farrley Nuclear Plant.
Learning for Future Projects:
In addition to researching the economic and engineering scalability of these programs, this project will include analyses on environmental safety and health, environmental justice, economic revitalization and jobs and a cradle-to-grave life cycle analysis.
A Guiding Hand:
Carbonvert serves as a strategic advisor, commercialization partner and lead cost-share investor for the project.
Columbia, AL
Mid-Atlantic Offshore
Battelle and Carbonvert, along with project partners, are seeking to build a foundation for a CCS hub along the Mid-Atlantic outer continental shelf. A future Mid-Atlantic storage hub can play a major role in regional decarbonization, while providing affordable, clean energy to large population centers.
Atlantic Coast
- Offshore evaluation from Massachusetts to Virginia
- $2.5 million US Dept. of Energy award
Bayou Bend CCS
Bayou Bend is a 20+ MMPTA CO2 capture, transport and storage hub in southeast Texas that combines offshore and onshore acreage to serve Port Arthur, the Houston Ship Channel and surrounding region. Carbonvert was instrumental in securing the offshore lease alongside Talos Energy, and in detailed project planning and permitting applications. In August 2023, Carbonvert transitioned its ownership stake to Equinor.
Freshwater-friendly:
The remote offshore location minimizes the risk of freshwater contamination, reducing liability for harm and ensuring the safety of people, property and wildlife.
A Major Impact:
Bayou Bend is strategically positioned to affect environmental change, with more than 35 Mtpa of CO2 emissions in the Port Arthur region and an overall anticipated storage capacity of 1 billion metric tons.
Port Arthur, TX
- 40,000 acres of Offshore storage and ~100,000
- 8,000 ft below ground miocene saline formations for permanent sequestration
