Le système de #séquestration_carbone le plus important du monde sera financé par les revenus du pétrole extrait grâce au CO2 capturé par ce système.
The captured carbon dioxide is pumped 82 miles to the West Ranch oil field in Jackson County, Texas, where drillers inject it into depleted wells, squeezing out the stubborn bits of crude oil that remain after the reservoir is tapped, in a process called enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Drillers estimate that the field holds 60 million barrels that could be recovered with EOR.
The EOR operations will generate the revenue that pays for the CCS [carbon capture and storage ] system.
