Chemical products company LSB Industries has said it wants to capture and permanently sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) at its El Dorado, Arkansas facility that produces ammonia for agricultural and mining products.
It has formed an alliance with carbon capture specialist Lapis Energy for the project and a permit application has been submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to construct a Class VI well as part of its plans.
Class VI wells are used to inject CO2 into deep rock formation. The long-term geological sequestration reduces atmospheric CO2 emissions and helps to mitigate climate change.
Upon approval of the Class VI permit, Lapis will begin construction on the required infrastructure to capture and sequester CO2. It is thought the technology could reduce LSB’s direct greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 25% from current levels.
