Milestone Carbon, a division of Milestone Environmental Services and a pioneer in permanent carbon sequestration solutions, has achieved a significant milestone in its Class VI CO2 injection well permit application for a carbon sequestration hub in the Delaware Basin of West Texas.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially determined the application to be complete, a crucial step in the permitting process.
In addition, Milestone Carbon has submitted a Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) Plan to the EPA, a necessary component for the permanent geologic storage of CO2.
The Class VI permit encompasses two wells, each capable of storing up to one million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually, with the potential for expansion to four wells.
The EPA anticipates making a final decision on the permit by September 2026.
Initially announced in October 2023, Milestone Carbon’s Delaware Basin carbon hub now encompasses over 30,000 acres of land and pore space for the permanent storage of CO2.
This hub will be instrumental in supporting the transition to lower-carbon operations for industries such as natural gas processing and electricity generation.

Gabriel Rio, President and Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Environmental Services, stated: “The progress made on this important permit for our emerging carbon hub in the Delaware Basin is a testament to the consistent dedication of the Milestone Carbon team.”
“Milestone Carbon is committed to supporting industrial emitters and their decarbonization goals, and the advancement of this permit and filing of the MRV with the EPA brings us another step closer to delivering this critical infrastructure,” Rio said.
Chris Davis, Milestone Carbon Senior Vice President added: “A lot of time, focus, and experience went into the permit application, and I’m very proud of the Milestone Carbon team for their unwavering commitment and attention to detail necessary to reach these stages in the process. Developing reliable carbon sequestration facilities is the core of what we do, and we’re really excited to be that much closer to providing this service to customers in the Permian Basin.”
