Enid Fertilizer

The Enid Fertilizer CCS project at the Koch Nitrogen Company’s fertilizer plant in Enid, Oklahoma is a long-running industrial carbon capture and utilization initiative capturing CO₂ produced from ammonia and urea synthesis. The facility separates and compresses CO₂ from the fertilizer plant’s process streams and transports it via a roughly 120-mile pipeline to nearby oil fields in Oklahoma for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and subsurface storage, providing a permanent use and sequestration pathway for industrial carbon emissions. The project has been operating since the early 1980s and expanded in 2010, contributing to commercial-scale CO₂ capture infrastructure in the United States and supporting both reduced emissions from fertilizer production and increased oil recovery in regional reservoirs.
