The two distinctly funded projects\u00a0include the collection of geologic data\u00a0onshore\u00a0under Port-owned property, and under state-owned offshore tracts, respectively. The grants are designed to\u00a0accelerate the development of a centralized solution to capture and manage CO2\u00a0emissions that otherwise would\u00a0enter the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.<\/p>\n
The onshore project received $9 million in federal funding and is a collaboration between the Port of Corpus Christi and\u00a0Talos Energy\u00a0Inc.\u00a0with\u00a0Howard Energy Partners,\u00a0as well as the Texas A&M University System.<\/p>\n
The offshore project\u00a0is\u00a0a collaboration between\u00a0the Port of Corpus Christi,\u00a01845 Carbon Storage LLC, Strategic Sequestration Development LLC,\u00a0and the\u00a0University\u00a0of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology\u2019s\u00a0Gulf Coast Carbon Center.<\/p>\n

The Port of Corpus Christi\u00a0was\u00a0awarded\u00a0$16.4 million through\u00a0the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s\u00a0(DoE)\u00a0Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) initiative.<\/p><\/div>\n
\u201cWe applaud the Biden Administration for making such a direct and demonstrative investment in industrial carbon management solutions with\u00a0the\u00a0DoE\u2019s\u00a0CarbonSAFE Program,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Sean Strawbridge, CEO for the Port of Corpus Christi.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis award\u00a0is a significant and historic step\u00a0in\u00a0the Port of Corpus Christi\u2019s\u00a0ambition\u00a0to position the Texas Coastal Bend region\u00a0as\u00a0the\u00a0nation\u2019s\u00a0premiere\u00a0carbon management hub, recognizing our customers have already made significant decarbonization commitments to their shareholders and society at large.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each of the two proposed\u00a0carbon capture and storage\u00a0projects\u00a0has\u00a0a\u00a0goal of\u00a0storing at least\u00a050 million metric tons\u00a0of CO2\u00a0over a 30-year period.\u00a0The bulk of the matching\u00a0funds for the awarded grants will be furnished by the\u00a0Port\u00a0of Corpus Christi\u2019s\u00a0private sector collaborators, with the Port\u00a0of Corpus Christi\u2019s match coming by way of community benefits programming, including a new PORT-Able Learning Lab and\u00a0development of\u00a0decarbonization\/climate-specific Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum content for Texas schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Port of Corpus Christi staff and industry partners work\u00a0in the background\u00a0to\u00a0submit a full application for its Horizons Clean Hydrogen Hub, this award from the DoE will accelerate our efforts on another front to support the federal administration\u2019s decarbonization objectives,\u201d said\u00a0Charles W. Zahn\u00a0Jr., Port of Corpus Christi Commission Chairman.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis funding represents a gateway to new jobs and new opportunities for our community in an entirely new sector of the clean energy economy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
