Equinor said it has acquired a 25% stake in Bayou Bend CCS, a
carbon capture and storage project on the Texas Gulf coast.
The project's location will provide a potential decarbonization
option for industries such as refining, cement, steel, chemicals,
and manufacturing and supports Equinor's ambition to mature and
develop 15-30 million metric tons of carbon dioxide transport and
storage capacity a year by 2035, it said.
Equinor has acquired its 25% share through the purchase of Texas
Carbon 1, a subsidiary of carbon capture and storage project
development and finance company Carbonvert. Chevron is the operator
of the project with a 50% interest, and Talos Energy holds 25%.
Financial terms weren't disclosed.
