“Large-scale carbon capture and storage in the Houston region will be a cornerstone for the world’s energy transition, and these companies’ efforts are crucial toward advancing CCS development to achieve broad scale commercial impact,” said Charles McConnell, director of University of Houston’s Center for Carbon Management in Energy and former assistant secretary in the U.S. ![]() These efforts have already gained broad support in the Houston region, including from Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, the Harris County Commissioners’ Court, the Greater Houston Partnership and the Center for Houston’s Future. Together, these companies and others in the region could capture and safely store up to 50 million metric tons of CO 2 per year by 2030 and about 100 million metric tons per year by 2040, helping to significantly reduce emissions in the Houston region. In December 2021, the companies held a series of workshops at the University of Houston to discuss collaboration and activation of this important, large-scale emissions-reduction effort. The 14 companies are evaluating how to use safe, proven CCS technology at Houston-area facilities that provide energy and products for modern life, including power generation and advanced manufacturing for plastics, motor fuels and packaging. Companies continue to show support for carbon capture and storage technology to reduce emissions and help Houston achieve its Climate Action Plan goals.Collective efforts could capture and store approximately 50 million metric tons of CO 2 per year by 2030 – and 100 million by 2040, significantly reducing CO 2 emissions from one of the United States’ largest industrial areas. ![]() Air Liquide, BASF and Shell the latest to join group of companies committed to advancing large-scale carbon capture and storage in Houston.
