Bluewood CCS Hub

The Bluewood CCS Hub, developed by Tenaska in South Texas, is designed to provide carbon capture and storage solutions for industrial emitters such as ethanol plants, agribusiness operations, natural gas processors, and steel manufacturers in the Texas Coastal Bend region. The project will capture CO₂ at the source, compress and transport it through carbon-steel pipelines, and permanently store it in deep underground rock formations beneath roughly 100,000 acres of leased pore space. These formations are sealed with impermeable cap rock, ensuring secure, long-term storage as the CO₂ mineralizes or dissolves over time. Landowners leasing pore space retain full surface use of their property, creating a new income stream while continuing farming, ranching, or other activities. The project will progress through a multi-phase timeline: two to three years of development, one year of construction to build pipelines and injection wells, and more than 30 years of operation with continuous monitoring, followed by a long-term closure and stewardship phase in line with EPA regulations.
