⏰ Carbon TerraVault I 26R will gain their Class VI #carbonsequestration permit any day now. 👉 The EPA projected Final Permit Decision was estimated to be on June, 18th 2024 as shown below. 👨💻 We recently analyzed the sentiment of the comments submitted to the EPA during the public hearing period. Results: 📊 29% negative comments versus 48% positive comments. 👩🎓 Public workshops made a significant impact for local residents who praised them for providing critical insight and the feeling to be heard. Carbon TerraVault I: Elk Hills 26R will be the the second project achieving a Class VI permit in 2024. The first was the Wabash CCS Project in Indiana: https://lnkd.in/gkm79Maj

We love to discover what resonates with our NACOE community. Here are the top three accessed reports of 2024 (so far!) that have sparked discussions and captured broader interest:   P106: Assessing the Potential Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions and Sustainability Benefits of Innovative Pavement Solutions This report delves deep into the potential of innovative pavement solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability. It's been a hot topic among industry experts and policymakers alike, sparking conversations on how we can build a greener future for generations to come. Link: https://lnkd.in/gPhjkbkq   P49: Quantifying the Benefits of Geosynthetics for the Mechanical Stabilisation of Subgrade Soils Geosynthetics has long been recognised as a game-changer in soil stabilisation, and this report quantifies their immense benefits with precision. It's been a go-to resource for engineers and researchers seeking evidence-based insights into optimising subgrade soil stability for infrastructure projects. Link: https://lnkd.in/g2tYSZHv   A44: Synthesis and Dissemination of Best Practice Asset Preservation Solutions and Management Strategies for Sealed Roads Preserving our existing infrastructure is just as crucial as building new ones, and this report sheds light on best practices for asset preservation and management strategies. Its approach has garnered attention and served as a roadmap for maintaining the integrity of sealed roads.

🛎️ BIG NEWS FOR CCS IN LOUISIANA 🛎️ Primacy over Class VI wells has (finally!) been granted to Louisiana. The EPA notified Governor John Bel Edwards yesterday that Louisiana will now be the third state in the United States to have primacy over a Class VI well program for deep geologic wells for sequestration. This is significant because there are over 45 CCS projects in development in Louisiana. The LDNR will now have primary responsibility to enforce, govern, and administer these projects, including making sure that all environmental justice requirements are followed. Additionally, this news solidifies Louisiana’s position as the carbon capture capital of the United States.

Today is #GlobalWindDay! 🌬 Watch the last input given by our coordinator Aligi Foglia of NGI - Norwegian Geotechnical Institute explaining how #TailwindEU ambition is capable of balancing both environmental and sustainability goals with business requirements necessary to boost floating offshore #WindEnergy. #EUWindOfChange

A pivotal update for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) as Louisiana now has primacy to issue its own Class VI well permits and help address the backlog of over two dozen permit applications for Louisiana currently under EPA review. Louisiana can now have more direct control over the pace of CCS infrastructure developed as their proximity to emitters and favorable geology combine for a win-win to accelerate CCS development. No wonder PCS is currently involved in a number of CCS projects planned for Louisiana. The granting of primacy to the state of Louisiana by EPA will potentially speed up the permitting process. This could result in an earlier start of construction, capture and sequestration of CO2 that otherwise would have been dispersed into the atmosphere. #carboncapture https://lnkd.in/eSYz-UXg

MarramWind is pleased to have collaborated with 11 other projects in the East and Northeast #ScotWind regions to produce a report examining potential regional ornithological compensation measures that could be deployed at scale and contribute to the increased resilience of seabird populations in Scotland. This important study was carried out by Royal HaskoningDHV, HiDef Aerial Surveying Limited and with input from NiMa Consultants Ltd. The report highlights the challenge the industry is facing in delivering offshore wind at scale under the current regulations. The developers are pleased the Scottish Government has launched its Joint Environmental Accelerator Project (JEAP) initiative and are keen to continue the proactive, collaborative work to ensure these projects deliver real environmental benefit as well as delivering net zero. The developers involved believe that significant focus on this issue is essential to delivering Scotland’s 2045 net zero targets and realising the wider benefits of ScotWind. Continued collaboration between all stakeholder groups to devise a practicable and appropriate approach to compensation measures is vital if our net zero, energy security, and local supply chain ambitions are to become reality.

It all starts with the groundwork, and constructing the Right of Way (ROW) is one of the initial stages of a pipeline project. By working closely with our client, our team understands and adheres to the scope of work, which identifies the purpose of the pipeline, defines the route, and assesses environmental impact. #ROW #ScopeofWork #pipelineprojects #NewforceEnergy
