2nd Chances for a Carbon Capture Plant in Richmond, Texas

💕 Happy Valentine’s Day!  💕

We hope you all are enjoying your Valentine’s Day! 💖

Did you catch the article called, “Carbon Capture Plant’s Revival Offers Opportunity for Redemption*” in the Texas Inc. Houston section of the Houston Chronicle on February 13, 2023?  It is about a local carbon capture plant in Richmond, Texas who is having a comeback and getting a second chance at life.  After a few upgrades on the plant which are expected to be completed in June 2023, the plant will restart.  This plant is expected to ship the carbon it captures to an energy company’s oil field, and they will be using it for a process called enhanced oil recovery. Enhanced oil recovery is a process where carbon dioxide is injected into an oil well and it squeezes out the oil and is then stored in reservoirs deep underground.  The interesting things scientists and engineers dream up to do! 

We hope you have a fun and a day full of sweets!
