BKV Corporation has announced the start-up of its Eagle Ford carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facility in Texas, marking the latest expansion of its commercial carbon management portfolio. The project follows the commissioning of two additional CCS facilities during the first half of 2026 and forms part of the company’s broader strategy to expand its carbon sequestration operations.
The Eagle Ford facility is the first new operational project developed under BKV’s strategic joint venture with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), acting on behalf of its Energy Transition Fund I, since the inclusion of the Barnett Zero project in the partnership.
Developed in collaboration with a diversified midstream energy company, the facility captures carbon dioxide from a natural gas processing plant serving production from the Eagle Ford Shale. BKV acquires the CO₂ stream, compresses it and transports it to a nearby injection well, where it is permanently stored underground. The project is designed to sequester approximately 90,000 metric tonnes of CO₂ annually, with BKV initially retaining the environmental credits generated by the facility.
The project reached final investment decision in December 2024 and received a Class II injection well permit from the Texas Railroad Commission, as well as approval of its monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) plan from the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Karlis Povisilis, partner at Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, said the launch of the Eagle Ford facility marks an important milestone for the joint venture and demonstrates the partnership’s strategy to expand carbon capture infrastructure.
BKV said the Eagle Ford project, together with its Barnett Zero and Cotton Cove facilities, advances its strategy of developing commercial-scale carbon sequestration projects across key natural gas basins. The company is continuing work on additional CCS projects as it targets an annual CO₂ injection rate of 1.5 million metric tonnes by 2028.
The Cotton Cove facility, located in the Fort Worth Basin near Fort Worth, Texas, was developed jointly by BKV and Banpu Power US. It captures carbon dioxide emissions from BKV’s owned and operated midstream gas processing plant and permanently stores the CO₂ through a Class II injection well. The facility is expected to sequester approximately 32,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually over its operating life.
Combined, the Cotton Cove and Eagle Ford facilities are expected to sequester more than 120,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. Alongside the Barnett Zero facility in North Texas, BKV now operates three commercial CCS facilities across the state.
Chris Kalnin, chief executive officer of BKV, said the three operational facilities demonstrate the company’s ability to develop, build and operate commercial-scale carbon sequestration projects. He added that BKV intends to continue expanding its CCS portfolio while supporting its long-term emissions reduction objectives.
