BKV, a Colorado-based energy company focused on sustainably developing and delivering low-carbon energy solutions and baseload power, has begun operations at two new carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facilities in Texas.<\/p>\n

The Eagle Ford facility, situated near Freer in South Texas, and the Cotton Cove facility, located in the Fort Worth Basin, are expected to sequester over 120,000t of CO\u2082 annually.<\/p>\n

The Eagle Ford plant is the first new CCS facility to become operational under BKV\u2019s joint venture with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), following the inclusion of the Barnett Zero project.<\/p>\n

The site captures emissions from a natural gas processing plant handling Eagle Ford Shale production.<\/p>\n

BKV acquires the CO\u2082 waste stream from this facility, compresses the gas and transports it to a nearby injection well for permanent geological storage.<\/p>\n

The Texas Railroad Commission approved the site\u2019s Class II injection well, while the US Environmental Protection Agency provided Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) plan approval.<\/p>\n

An investment decision for the Eagle Ford facility was reached in mid-December 2024.<\/p>\n

BKV retains all environmental credits generated from this project at present, with the site projected to sequester around 90,000t of CO\u2082 each year.<\/p>\n

CIP partner Karlis Povisilis said: \u201cThe successful launch of the Eagle Ford project represents an important milestone for our joint venture with BKV and validates the operational excellence we anticipated from this partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project demonstrates the strength of our strategy and shared commitment to scaling and expanding carbon capture infrastructure solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cotton Cove, a joint undertaking between BKV and Banpu Power US, captures and sequesters CO\u2082 from BKV\u2019s midstream plant via a Class II underground injection well.<\/p>\n

The site is expected to average around 32,000t of CO\u2082 sequestration annually throughout its operational lifetime.<\/p>\n

BKV CEO Chris Kalnin said: \u201cWith Cotton Cove and Eagle Ford now operational alongside Barnett Zero, we continue to demonstrate our ability to develop, build and operate commercial-scale carbon sequestration projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese facilities reflect the strength of our integrated business model and our commitment to delivering practical, economically sustainable carbon management solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The addition of Eagle Ford and Cotton Cove brings the number of BKV-operated CCS facilities in Texas to three.<\/p>\n

The company continues to progress additional carbon sequestration projects and has set a goal of reaching an annual CO\u2082 injection rate of 1.5 million metric tonnes by 2028.<\/p>\n
