Carbon Capture

Carbon capture is bullshite. Anthropogenic climate change is a hoax, hence carbon capture. It’s an environmentalist wet dream. Just like the California bullet train.

They have to have a hearing before the state mineral board. You will get notice of the hearing if your property is affected.

If I were a betting man all this "green initiative" will be a thing of the past in a few days.

Tress capture a lot of carbon, but we're cutting them down to put up windmills.

Apparently they’re going to “capture carbon and send it to a well 10,000 feet deep”. Problem with that is, this well will be right below our aquifer.

CO2 aquifer intrusion is not the issue you should be concerned about. Inquire about a pipeline rupture and asks to see how pipeline ruptures are mitigated and the measures the operating company will take upon a pipeline rupture.

CO2 has a molecular weight of 44. Air has a molecular weight of about 28-29. CO2 is heavier than air and sticks to the ground. The danger is that it becomes a potential asphyxiate and your car will not start under high concentrations. If a dense phase CO2 pipeline were near my house I would have a self contained breathing apparatus for me and my family members handy in case of a pipeline emergency with enough capacity to walk out of the plume. But that’s just me.

There are already CO2 pipelines running all over this part of the South. Is OP talking about direct carbon capture out of ambient air, or injecting CO2 emissions from an industrial source or power plant?

If the 45Q tax credits are reduced or removed, IMO, most of the projects to capture and inject CO2 will be shelved.

Carbon gets sequestered deep in the ocean as well as underground. It won’t be there forever, but if we put it there it will remain for thousands of years, maybe millions. The CO2 eventually dissolves into the water.

It would have to be very near, or the ground would have to slope downward from the pipeline to the house. But if it’s a quarter of a mile away, you are golden. It’s a much bigger issue in mountainous terrain.

But your post is spot on. The aquifer is not an issue.

And we have been dealing with CO2 pipelines and CO2 injection for many decades. It’s not new; it’s just that before we were doing it to recover hydrcarbons and now. It’s to store the CO2.

I’m VERY familiar. The main CO2 pipeline system being the Denbury system just purchased by Exxon.

Nah. I’m pretty sure I know what project the OP is talking about. The operator is taking CO2 from industrial emitters.

I believe the DOE currently has $1.2 trillion in queue for these projects. Applications for FOAs for that money are very hot and heavy right now.

The new administration with Congress can change this very quickly. In fact Trump mentioned on the campaign trail he would like to reallocate that money for infrastructure projects.
