BKV Expands US Carbon Capture Capacity with Two New CCS Facilities Sequestering
BKV Corporation has announced that two new carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facilities, Cotton Cove and Eagle Ford, are now operational in Texas, marking a significant expansion of its commercial carbon management portfolio.
The company said the new projects reinforce its CCS growth strategy and bring additional sequestration capacity online in key US natural gas basins. Together, the two facilities are expected to permanently store more than 120,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
The Eagle Ford CCS facility is the first new operational project under BKV’s strategic joint venture with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. It captures CO₂ from a natural gas processing plant linked to Eagle Ford Shale production, before compressing and transporting it to an adjacent injection site for permanent underground storage. The facility alone is expected to sequester around 90,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually.
Cotton Cove, located in the Fort Worth Basin near Fort Worth, captures emissions from a co-located midstream plant operated by BKV and injects them into deep geological formations through a Class II injection well. The facility is projected to sequester approximately 32,000 metric tons of CO₂ each year over its operational lifetime.
With Barnett Zero already in operation, BKV now runs three commercial CCS sites across Texas. The company stated that the new additions strengthen its integrated approach spanning upstream production, midstream infrastructure and carbon management, and support its longer-term target of achieving a 1.5 million metric ton annual CO₂ injection rate by 2028.
Chief executive Chris Kalnin said the new facilities demonstrate the company’s ability to develop and operate commercial-scale carbon sequestration projects while advancing economically viable emissions reduction solutions.
BKV added that it continues to progress a wider pipeline of CCS developments across the United States as it scales its carbon capture and storage operations.
