California Resources Corporation Breaks Ground on California's First Carbon Capture and Storage Project in Kern County
California Resources Corporation has broken ground on Carbon TerraVault I, California's first carbon capture and storage $(CCS)$ project. Located at the Elk Hills Field in Kern County, this initiative marks a significant step toward the state's goal of carbon neutrality by 2045. Developed through a joint venture with Brookfield, the project will utilize existing facilities to store up to 1.6 million metric tons of CO₂ annually, with a total storage potential of 38 million metric tons. Carbon TerraVault I is the first facility in California to receive final Class VI permits from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and unanimous approval from the Kern County Board of Supervisors. First CO₂ injection is planned for early 2026. The project is expected to create high-quality jobs in the Central Valley and set a new standard for CCS deployment in the state.
