Jonathan Grammer to Speak on Carbon Capture to Texas Land and Mineral Owners

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- Jonathan Grammer, CEO of U.S. Carbon Capture, will present on the issue of Carbon Capture and Storage to Texas land and mineral rights owners November the 18th in Austin, Texas. The presentation will be part of the 7th Annual Land and Mineral Owner's Symposium hosted by Austin law firm Graves, Dougherty, Hearon & Moody.

The State of Texas, through its oil and gas regulatory body the Texas Railroad Commission, continues to advance toward obtaining primacy from the Environmental Protection Agency for the permitting of Class VI Carbon Dioxide injection wells. This moves the State of Texas closer to a state wide and commercially viable deployment of carbon capture and sequestration.

Carbon capture and sequestration is a process that will be centered around deep saline formations underneath large land holdings in both south, west and north Texas and has the potential to provide not only long-term revenue for Texans but also create new and complex legal issues for Texas land and mineral owners.

Long term storage of carbon dioxide, pore space ownership, development of deep mineral rights beneath the storage zone, plume migration beyond lease boundaries and understanding the safety of carbon storage are all evolving subject areas affecting land and mineral owners in the State of Texas and upon which Grammer intends to continue to speak upon.

"The most crucial element of a good long-term storage project for carbon dioxide sequestration in Texas," states Grammer, "will be identifying, and securing rights to, good subsurface geology. This will require large land positions in long term agreements in and around existing, and potential future, oil and gas production in Texas."

Jonathan Grammer to Speak at Texas Tech University on Carbon Capture

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- U.S. Carbon Capture announces that Director of Land Jonathan R. Grammer will speak on the campus of Texas Tech University June 1 on the growing business of Carbon Capture in the State of Texas. The engagement, part of a larger convention addressing the state's energy grid, comes just months after Exxon Mobil announced its estimates of a foreseeable $4.5 trillion market for carbon capture and storage by 2050 as companies race to achieve net-zero.

In March, the Securities and Exchange Commission handed down their proposed rules changes regarding company disclosures of carbon emissions for not only direct emissions, but also indirect emissions from purchased electricity providers.

With now growing global attention and pressure on the need to restrict carbon dioxide emissions, the fossil fuel industry seems to be finding itself in an increasingly tight predicament as it struggles to implement solutions to reduce its carbon footprint. It's a predicament which Grammer believes has plausible solutions that can benefit both the fossil fuels industry as well as the growing renewable markets. It is also one which Grammer, a petroleum landman and attorney and who founded U.S. Carbon Capture in 2021, says has been decades in the making.

"Our team's early work in carbon capture began actually ten years ago in West Texas," states Grammer. "At that time, we were concentrated on separation of the CO2 component from industrial flue gas for utilization in resurrecting several depleted oil fields. We also learned about the reservoir engineering surrounding safely securing CO2 underground."

Now with its qualified team in place and two projects under development, U.S. Carbon Capture has emerged as one of the more likely front-runners in the ever-growing carbon capture market in Texas.

"The issue facing the energy industry in Texas," continues Grammer, "is finding ways to safely preserve utilizing carbon emitting sources in power generation. Carbon dioxide, most commonly associated with the burning of fossil fuels in power plants, oil refineries and other industrial sources can be effectively captured and placed either in underground storage, known commonly as sequestration, or used in enhanced oil recovery. Carbon dioxide, while primarily classified as a pollutant, also has enormous potential as a commodity. Its ability to increase the recovery rate of oil production could prove beneficial to the United States in its large effort to decrease dependency on foreign oil sources."

"Carbon capture technologies are progressing rapidly," stated Ken Holtgrieve, Director of Facilities for U.S. Carbon Capture. Holtgrieve, former Manager for CO2 Development at Kinder Morgan continued, "New carbon capture and storage projects are being announced almost daily somewhere around the world. Suppliers and contractors are gearing up to meet the demand. CCS is no longer just a dream. It is becoming reality."

U.S. Carbon Capture's Reservoir Engineer Mike Cain added, "Some may find it ironic that professionals from the oil and gas industry are leading the charge on addressing climate change through carbon capture." Cain, with a decade's worth of experience as a CO2 Reservoir Engineer, continued, "they are the experts when it comes to all aspects of carbon capture ranging from surface facilities, to land, legal, and regulatory issues, to wells and understanding injection into subsurface reservoirs. US Carbon Capture has built its leadership team with these key aspects of CCS/CCUS in mind."

Grammer will be speaking as part of the GridNext and Global Laboratory for Energy Asset Management and Manufacturing Conference at Texas Tech University on the latest advances in the fossil fuels and renewables industries towards increasing reliability and resiliency in the ERCOT Grid.

Synergy for Ecological Solutions Brings Innovation of Climate Wellness Through Soil Health

CHEYENNE, Wyo. /ScoopCloud/ -- National nonprofit Synergy for Ecological Solutions officially launches on the first day of Spring, March 20th. SYNERGY is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to serving our environment through a one-of-a-kind program of climate wellness through soil health and other ecological synergies.

"While other carbon programs involve credits, taxes, government programs, and protocols that are not always beneficial or possible for a land manager, at SYNERGY, we started with the science and worked backwards to create a program called YOU360," says Jeff Holder of Synergy for Ecological Solutions. "We let Nature clean the air and we do it by letting individuals and businesses be the solution."

The YOU360 program brings together those who are motivated to help the environment with those who manage open land of any kind, such as ranches, farms, parks, and golf courses.

Donors called Change Agents donate monthly to SYNERGY, who in turn, provides grants to land managers called Land Stewards to change equipment or practices that will result in increased soil health. Better soil increases photosynthesis, which releases more oxygen into the air and sequesters greater carbon into the roots and soil. The You360 program is a natural, organic method for cleaning the air.

President Biden's climate-focused administration has identified carbon capture in soils as critical to air quality health. The You360 program can take advantage of any open land to create carbon sinks for trapping the carbon out of the air.

The US Department of Agriculture has quantified the vast carbon storage potential of healthy soil. A recent study by USDA scientists estimates that Wyoming's rangelands alone have the capacity to store carbon from over 11 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. Combined with acreage across the West and Midwest, the potential to create climate wellness is immense.

"Using our open lands, we can work on carbon neutrality today, not years from now. If we focus on science, it will lead to interaction between soil health and climate wellness," says John Robitaille of Carbon Asset Network.

SYNERGY works with Carbon Asset Network, which is a network of land stewards throughout the nation.
