A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
California Resources Corporation (CRC) has launched California's first operational carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at the Elk Hills Field in Kern County. The Carbon TerraVault I (CTV I) project captures CO2 from CRC's cryogenic gas plant and stores it in depleted oil and gas reservoirs more than one mile underground. This milestone positions California among a select group of regions globally that have moved CCS projects from concept to operation, demonstrating large-scale carbon storage feasibility.
