Texas – Leading Environmental Example of the Future of Energy - DuPontThis Texas project captures waste CO2 gas from natural gas treating plants and transports the CO2 through a pipeline for injection underground in enhanced oil recovery. The CO2 used for this process, which would otherwise be vented into the atmosphere by the gas processing plant, is sequestered in underlying bedrock that formerly held the oil. This is a first step in efficiently utilizing our natural resources and increasing domestic energy security. This efficiently utilizes our natural resources, increasing domestic energy security, local employment and local economic benefit. |
