Air Products has signed two agreements with Valero Energy Corporation and Denbury Onshore, LLC. The new alliances are expected to precipitate the firm’s carbon capture and sequestration project in Port Arthur, Texas.
Thanks to these latest agreements, Air Products’ CO2 will be delivered via a pipeline owned by Denbury Green Pipeline. The pipeline stretches between Texas to Denbury Onshore and is expected to begin in late 2012. The sequestered carbon dioxide is to be put to use by Denbury Onshore in enhanced oil recovery.
