Utah-based Bluesource works with North American companies on CO2 reduction projects such as this system of pipelines used in a Carbon Capture and Storage project in West Texas, which eliminates 2 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. The 82 mile, 10-inch CO2 pipeline in West Texas is known as the Val Verde Pipeline. The pipeline enables the capture of CO2 from five natural gas processing plants, avoiding CO2 venting to the atmosphere. Once gathered, dehydrated and compressed, the CO2 is transported to an existing CO2 distribution system in the Permian Basin of West Texas for eventual delivery to Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) markets.
