Looks like the Houston Ship Channel has another CCS project moving forward!

Happy Two-for-Tuesday!

Did anyone happen to read The Houston Chronicle’s Business Section on April 19, 2024, their article titled, “Kinder Morgan gets Ship Channel land – Pipeline giant’s lease of 10,800 acres set for carbon storage projects”?  The article was on Kinder Morgan’s Energy Transitions Ventures has made an agreement on leasing from TGS Cedar Port Partners for almost 11,000 acres more importantly they will have access to caverns under TGS Cedar Port for their carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects which is near the Houston Ship Channel.  The underground caverns have the ability to hold more than 300 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), and this will allow them to have an edge due to the proximity to the Houston Ship Channel and the companies who will need their services in this ever-changing carbon neutral world.  Kinder Morgan already stores many types of things which include petroleum and its various products, and they have the skill set needed from their enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects in the Southwest to inject CO2, move it through their pipelines, so this location is the next step.  Kinder Morgan is already the leader in moving CO2 through pipelines in North America, and now they will have a hand helping to make the Houston Ship Channel carbon neutral.   If you would like to read more of The Houston Chronicle’s article, please click the link: Kinder Morgan carbon storage planned for big Houston Ship Channel site(houstonchronicle.com).
