Low-Carbon Solutions Arrive at Data Centers

The Low Carbon Briefing

Development Activity

  • Repsol-led Joint Venture submitted a 1 well Class VI application for their Offshore Corpus Christi sequestration asset

BKV and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners Announce Strategic Carbon Capture Joint Venture With Up To $500 Million Investment

  • CIP committed up to $500 million to the JV for development, operations, and construction work for up to 49% equity stake

  • The committed capital will be used to fund announced projects and greenfield ventures

  • BKV has announced 6 CCS projects in the U.S. - with their flagship Barnet Zero already in operations

    • Others are Colorado, South and Central Texas, and Louisiana

Prometheus Hyperscale, PureWest Energy, and Frontier Infrastructure Partner to Deliver Zero-Carbon Power Solution for Flagship Wyoming Data Center

  • Bernard Looney’s (BP’s ex-Chief) Prometheus Hyperscale announced a joint partnership with natural gas provider, PureWest; and low carbon developer, Frontier Infrastructure to develop a 1.2 GW low-carbon data center in Wyoming

  • Under the partnership, PureWest will supply certified low-carbon natural gas to power Prometheus Hyperscale, while Frontier Infrastructure will contribute carbon credits derived from the capture and sequestration of biogenic CO₂ at its dedicated carbon storage hub.

  • As demand accelerates for scalable, low-carbon, and reliable data center infrastructure globally, this integrated solution—combining verified low-carbon fuel with carbon credits—is designed to be market-ready within standard data center development timelines

Comstock Resources and BKV partner to develop CCS project in East Texas

  • Comstock Resources and BKV announced a non-binding agreement to develop CCUS projects at Comstock’s Bethel and Marquez Natural Gas Processing Plants

  • The project will be the first carbon sequestration project in the Western Haynesville and may provide CCS solutions for nearby gas processing facilities

  • Haynesville natural gas processing facilities have been a focus for carbon capture implementation as the dry gas has relatively high CO2 concentration - enabling more cost effective decarbonization solutions compared to other basins

Carbfix receives Europe’s first onshore CO2 storage permit

  • Carbfix, an Icelandic carbon capture and storage company, has been granted Europe's first onshore CO2 storage permit under EU law.

  • This approval allows Carbfix to inject CO₂ into basaltic bedrock, where it mineralizes into stable carbonates, offering a permanent storage solution. The permit is part of the EU’s Carbon Capture and Storage Directive

  • Carbfix's sequestration method has been demonstrated at the Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Plant in Iceland, where it has successfully captured and stored CO₂ and hydrogen sulfide since 2014.

  • The company plans to scale operations with projects like the Coda terminal, which aims to inject up to 3 million tons of CO₂ per year by 2032.

Carbon Recycling International completes feasibility study for Iceland’s largest e-SAF projet

  • Carbon Recycling International (CRI) has completed a feasibility study for the methanol-to-jet (MtJ) pathway at Iceland’s largest planned sustainable aviation fuel facility, developed by IdunnH2

  • This 300 MW facility aims to produce up to 70,000 tons of e-SAF annually by combining green hydrogen—sourced from wind, geothermal, and hydropower resources—with recycled CO2

  • The project will utilize CRI’s CO2-to-methanol technology and Honeywell UOP’s eFining process with a planned operations in 2029

  • With the feasibility of the MtJ pathway confirmed, IdunnH2 is moving forward to formalize technology partnerships and initiate the front-end engineering design phase of the project
