BKV starts up two new carbon capture and sequestration facilities in Texas and Wyoming

BKV Corporation has announced that two new carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facilities are now operational. The projects are located in Texas and Wyoming and are designed to capture CO2 from natural gas processing operations and inject it into underground geological formations for permanent storage. This expands BKV's existing CCS portfolio and adds real tonnage to the U.S. carbon removal pipeline. The operational status of these facilities matters because many CCS projects remain stuck in permitting or financing stages. BKV claims these are now actively capturing and storing carbon, which puts them ahead of schedule compared to many industry peers. The company is positioning itself as a direct player in the carbon credit market, potentially generating verified sequestration credits for sale or offset use. For anyone tracking carbon market supply, this is a concrete addition to the physical infrastructure behind carbon removal credits. The key open questions are the actual capture rate, storage verification method, and how the credits will be certified. If BKV delivers on the volumes, these facilities could become a reference point for how gas-sector CCS scales in practice.

Two new CCS facilities now operational. That is more concrete than most announcements in this space. BKV seems to be moving faster than the average project developer.

Agreed. But operational does not mean verified. I want to see independent MRV reports before counting these tons in any registry.

Texas and Wyoming. Two very different regulatory environments for injection wells. Texas has the RRC, Wyoming has its own primacy. Curious how that affects permitting timelines for the next phase.

Also worth asking what 45Q tax credit structure they are targeting. Direct pay or transferability? That will determine how much revenue per ton they actually see.

Capture from gas processing is lower concentration than direct air. Still better than nothing. But the energy penalty for compression and injection is real. Hope they published the parasitic load.

If these facilities actually run at nameplate capacity, that is a meaningful chunk of annual sequestration. But history says many CCS plants underperform. Let's see the first year of data.
