Project Description
The Timberlands Sequestration CarbonSAFE Phase III project is designed to capture and transport two million metric tons (MMT) of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year from a pulp and paper mill in Wilcox County, Alabama to a CO2 storage facility in Monroe County, Alabama. The project objectives are to demonstrate the technical and commercial feasibility of a carbon capture and storage project for the pulp and paper industry in Alabama that can be replicated and demonstrate initial storage site viability to position it as a large-scale storage hub for multiple emitters across Alabama. The project tasks include detailed site characterization, completion of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Class VI Underground Injection Control permit application, a pipeline FEED study, creation of development, business, and financial plans, and National Environmental Policy Act evaluation.
Project Benefits
The future commercial project aims to create a blueprint for and de-risk carbon capture and storage from pulp and paper mills that can be replicated. The future commercial project will capture and permanently sequester biogenic CO2 and some non-biogenic CO2, resulting in a carbon negative balance. Higher value carbon offset credits can be generated from a carbon removal project. The recipient has partnered with the University of Alabama to create a Community Benefits Plan that will provide quality, high-wage jobs and training in the project area, create a Community Benefits Fund and advisory board to make investments to serve the needs of local communities.
