Carbon TerraVault 1 by California Resources Corporation

The Carbon TerraVault 1 Project, as proposed by California Resources Corporation would develop an approximate 5,745 acre carbon capture and sequestration field, associated Class VI geologic sequestration injection wells, and related improvements for storage of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The proposed project would take local industrial sources of CO2 that are transported by a combination of truck, pipeline and/or rail to the dedicated Class VI injection wells for the project. Potential sources and locations of sources will be specifically identified and analyzed to the extent legally required by CEQA in the Draft EIR. The CO2 would then be injected into identified geographically confined reservoirs for storage in perpetuity. This area has been identified as a location suitable for such storage and a potential to provide a contribution to the goals of California for carbon neutrality by 2045 by reducing industrial uses to no net contribution and potentially supporting direct removal of CO2 from the air. California executive order B-55-18 mandates that the state achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 and maintain net negative emissions thereafter. The project, as proposed, has the capacity for up to 48 million metric tons of estimated storage and capable of sequestrating over 1 million metric tons of CO2 per year.
