Carbon capture, utilization,
and sequestration.
CCUS is here. And it’s on.
Let’s put carbon in its place.
Carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) spans a range of technologies for keeping industrial CO₂ out of the atmosphere.
At BKV, our focus is carbon capture and sequestration (CCS): capturing CO₂ at the source, compressing and transporting it via pipeline, then injecting it into carefully selected geological formations deep underground for permanent storage.
It’s a proven, practical tool for reducing emissions from industries that power modern life.
The potential of CCS extends far beyond our own operations.
BKV is putting experience to work helping companies turn decarbonization goals into practical, scalable solutions. By bringing together the expertise, infrastructure and partnerships needed to create real traction, we’re moving the industry from ambition to action.
A strategic partnership. Front-row seats.
We didn’t learn CCS from the sidelines. We’ve been developing, operating and refining commercial CCS projects firsthand. That experience gives our partners access to an integrated team with expertise spanning geology, engineering, operations, land, regulatory strategy and commercial development—and a growing body of knowledge we bring to every new project.
Deep CCS expertise and strong relationships with regulators across the U.S. give BKV and our partners a valuable advantage in developing ambitious carbon projects.
From Barnett Zero to a growing CCS portfolio, BKV is advancing carbon sequestration through first-of-their-kind projects, proven technology and valuable real-world experience.
BKV understands the regulatory path from EPA-approved MRV plans to Section 45Q requirements, helping projects navigate compliance and advance toward commercial viability.
Proving success.
From commercial-scale projects already storing CO₂ to larger facilities designed to serve industrial corridors, BKV is building a diverse portfolio of carbon management solutions.
BKV’s flagship CCS project began commercial operations in November 2023, capturing CO₂ from natural gas processing in Bridgeport, Texas. Through June 30, 2026, Barnett Zero had permanently sequestered approximately 375,800 metric tons of CO₂ while providing the proven commercial blueprint for the projects that followed.
Operational since June 2026, Eagle Ford captures CO₂ from a nearby third-party-owned natural gas processing plant for permanent underground storage. The facility is expected to sequester up to 90,000 metric tons annually and is the first new commercially operational CCS project under BKV’s strategic joint venture with CIP.
BKV’s second operational CCS project began commercial operations in April 2026, capturing CO₂ from our co-located Barnett natural gas processing operations. Cotton Cove is expected to permanently sequester up to 32,000 metric tons annually, expanding the proven, repeatable, modular CCS model established by Barnett Zero.
BKV’s largest industrial carbon reduction project is designed for large-scale, permanent CO₂ storage near Louisiana’s Mississippi River Corridor. Phase 1 includes five Class VI wells with capacity for up to 10 million metric tons annually. A test well drilled in 2026 marked another step toward injection readiness.
Located near Donaldsonville, Louisiana, and the south Baton Rouge industrial corridor, the project is designed to permanently sequester nearby industrial CO₂ emissions. Subsurface characterization and modeling indicate potential to permanently store ~1 million metric tons annually for more than 11 years.
Advance, evolve and repeat.
Barnett Zero is more than a successful CCS case study. It’s given us real-world operating experience we can apply across a growing portfolio to enhance technology, strengthen operations and evolve our approach on every project that follows.
-
Location: Bridgeport, Texas
-
Initial injection: November 2023
-
2025 uptime: 98.8%
-
CO₂ sequestered through June 30, 2026: ~375,800 metric tons
-
2025 safety performance: Zero health and safety incidents
Our experience is already paying dividends. When extreme cold challenged Barnett Zero operations, our team used what we learned to improve dehydration technology, later incorporating those enhancements into Cotton Cove and Eagle Ford.
It also informs how we operate responsibly. Multiple layers of monitoring—from real-time downhole data to groundwater, seismic and pipeline monitoring—help us keep a close watch above and below ground. And by inviting community leaders, elected officials and other stakeholders to see Barnett Zero in operation, we’re also making transparency
dCarbon Ventures: The business of innovation
Through BKV dCarbon Ventures, we’ve built a dedicated business focused on developing carbon management solutions. Our integrated team combines expertise in geology, engineering, operations, land, regulatory strategy and commercial development.
In 2025, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners committed up to $500 million to a strategic joint venture with BKV dCarbon Ventures to advance CCUS projects across the United States, adding significant momentum to our expanding portfolio.
CSG: Extending the impact of CCS
BKV’s Carbon Sequestered Gas (CSG) connects responsibly sourced natural gas with high-quality carbon credits generated through CCS to create a first-of-its-kind carbon-neutral natural gas product. CSG offsets the Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions associated with its lifecycle via quantifiable, third-party-verified carbon credits. It’s a practical, measurable way for companies to address their carbon footprint while accessing the natural gas their operations depend on.
