CO280 expands projects into Canada with an 800,000 metric ton pre-FEED contract

  • CO280 Solutions has awarded Pre-FEED contracts with a pulp & paper mill partner in Canada for a carbon dioxide removal project designed to capture over 800,000 tonnes per year of biogenic CO₂, starting in 2029.

  • The project will integrate commercial liquid amine carbon capture technology into existing mill operations, building on a successful pre-feasibility study completed in 2024.

  • In parallel with engineering, CO280 is advancing efforts to market and sell CDR credits, engage local communities, and secure project financing.

  • This marks their entrance into Canada, with their first project being with PCA in Louisiana. Canada is home to a robust forestry industry with over 40 mills in operations.

Williams Echo Springs CarbonSAFE Completes Deep Characterization Well for Carbon Storage

  • Williams and the University of Wyoming completed a deep characterization well (19,098 feet) in the Echo Springs area of south-central Wyoming to evaluate subsurface saline formations for CO₂ storage under DOE’s CarbonSAFE Phase II

  • The test well will gather geological, temperature, pressure, and rock property data to build models predicting if CO₂ can be safely injected, stored, and contained in those deep formations

  • The well utilized an existing stratigraphic well drilled in 2023 to reduce costs and expedite drilling

  • If successful, the Class II well can be used to sequester CO2 from William’s adjacent Echo Springs gas plant.
