OGCI Climate Investment has partnered with California Resources Corporation (CRC) to form Elk Hills Carbon. Climate Investment has invested in and will provide technical input into the project to design and permit California’s first carbon capture and sequestration system. The project would capture carbon dioxide from the Elk Hills power plant and inject it into underground oil formations. This would displace remaining oil, while permanently trapping the carbon dioxide deep underground.
