Navigator CO2 Ventures teams with Big River Resources on Heartland Greenway

In Texas, Navigator CO2 Ventures LLC announced a long-term agreement with Big River Resources, LLC and Big River United Energy, LLC to provide turnkey carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) services on Navigator’s Heartland Greenway system, to capture, transport and utilize or permanently store CO2 from three Big River ethanol biorefineries located in West Burlington, IA; Dyersville, IA; and Galva, IL.

The letter of intent signed by both companies outlines the key terms for Navigator to provide capture-to-end use CCUS services, including realization of environmental attributes related to permanent removal of CO2 from the atmosphere and finding key value optimization opportunities for captured CO2, for an initial term of twenty (20) years and an annual volume of 1,000,000 metric tons of CO2, which is equivalent to offsetting the carbon emissions of 215,469 vehicles driven annually. Start of operations is expected at the beginning of 2025.
