A project seeking to store carbon dioxide emissions to help lower the carbon intensity along the Texas Gulf Coast

Aiming to lead carbon dioxide (CO₂) transportation and storage in Southeast Texas

Aiming to create a safe and permanent solution to lower carbon intensity through CO₂ storage

Bayou Bend CCS LLC (Bayou Bend), a joint venture between Chevron, Equinor and TotalEnergies, is developing a CO₂ transportation and storage project in Southeast Texas. Bayou Bend prepared the first Class VI well application submitted to the EPA for CO₂ storage in formations beneath Texas state waters. The project has the potential to reduce the carbon intensity of regional industrial facilities by storing CO₂ safely and permanently underground.

Helping to advance critical industry

We aim to transport and store captured CO₂ emissions before they can be released into the atmosphere.

What We Do
Wetland landscape with scattered water pools and paved road crossing marshy terrain, wind turbine visible in distance

Storing carbon dioxide permanently

We seek to permanently store CO₂ thousands of feet underground, to be held in place by thick, impermeable rocks deep under the Earth’s surface.
