The carbon storage will be located in subsurface geologic formations. The project is also close to both existing and planned CO2 transportation, injection infrastructure and industrial emitters that could source the CO2. Caddo Sustainable Timberlands will continue to sustainably manage the timberland on the surface.
The agreement is the first step in the company’s strategic vision for leasing and helping develop multiple carbon capture projects across its 889,000 acres in Texas and Louisiana.
