CapturePoint Announces Agreements with Energy Transfer for Carbon Capture and Storage in Louisiana
CapturePoint, based in Allen, Texas, has formalized agreements with Energy Transfer LP for a carbon capture and storage project in Louisiana. The collaboration includes a revised Letter of Intent and a CO2 Offtake Agreement dedicating CO2 from Energy Transfer's facilities to the Central Louisiana Regional Carbon Storage Hub. The project has the capacity to store millions of tons of CO2 annually and is recognized as a key storage site by Energy Transfer. Recent data shows the potential to sequester hundreds of millions of tons of CO2. The project is awaiting permit approvals from the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources.
The agreements with Energy Transfer provide a solid foundation for the capture and storage of up to two million tons of CO2 annually at the Central Louisiana Regional Carbon Storage Hub.
The project has the potential to permanently sequester several hundred million tons of CO2 due to the unique geology of the region, as indicated by recent test well data.
The collaboration reflects Energy Transfer's recognition of the Central Louisiana Regional Carbon Storage Hub as a promising deep underground CO2 storage site, contributing to the project's significance.
The project is currently awaiting permit approvals from the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, which might introduce delays or uncertainties in the development timeline.
