Carbon capture and sequestration are methods of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide to mitigate environmental impacts. This natural and engineered method isolates CO₂ from emissions and secures it in geological formations. Many discussions center on “What is carbon capture?” as it highlights the environmental benefits and technical challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

WHAT IS CARBON CAPTURE?

Carbon capture is a technology that intercepts and isolates CO₂ emissions from industrial sources before they enter the atmosphere. It collects carbon dioxide from power plants and factories, preventing its release into the air. The captured CO₂ can be stored safely underground, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating environmental impacts.

CARBON CAPTURE, UTILIZATION & STORAGE: TURNING EMISSIONS INTO ASSETS

Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) efficiently captures CO₂ emissions, transforming them into valuable products or storing them safely underground. This reduces carbon output, creates economic opportunities, and ensures environmental safety.

Storing CO₂: Secure, Long-Term Containment

Excess CO₂ is compressed and injected into secure geological formations like depleted oil fields or saline aquifers. With rigorous monitoring and safety measures in place, this storage keeps CO₂ isolated from the atmosphere, protecting public health and the environment. Our advanced GIS Mapping techniques further enhance the identification of ideal storage sites.

CARBON CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION PROTOCOL UNDER THE LOW CARBON FUEL STANDARD

Under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, rigorous protocols guide the capture, transport, and storage of CO₂. These standards ensure that companies adhere to best practices, reduce emissions, and earn environmental credits and incentives for their efforts.

Asset Monitoring & Custom Reporting

Utility and infrastructure projects require ongoing oversight. Once land is secured, PLM provides end-to-end asset management services that ensure accuracy and compliance throughout a project’s lifecycle. Our systems allow clients to monitor performance, obligations, and asset status in real time. With tools like Overdrive™, our proprietary GIS mapping software, centralizes data and provides tailored reporting dashboards, to ensure our clients gain unmatched visibility and control, whether managing a single corridor or hundreds of parcels.

Land Procurement, Right-of-Way and Contract Management

PLM manages the full scope of land acquisition for utility and infrastructure development, including right-of-way negotiations, land procurement, and contract management. From power line easements to transportation routes, we handle every detail to secure the land rights you need. Our approach ensures clarity, consistency, and measurable

Carbon Capture & Sequestration FAQs

  • The key industries that benefit most from carbon sequestration are oil and gas, ethanol plants and land fills.

  • Key challenges include:

    • Understanding the varying legal and regulation processes from state to state.

    • Educating landowners on the process, and the benefits of carbon capture and sequestration.

    • Working through community opposition through PR, educational town halls, and stakeholder involvement.

  • Governments provide financial incentives, tax credits, and clear regulatory frameworks that encourage the adoption and scaling of sequestration technologies. Talk to a Purple Land Management about how we can suuport your next carbon capture sequestration project.
