Project Description

The Longleaf CCS Hub project seeks to significantly reduce the carbon emissions of south Alabama through the development of a stacked storage hub in proximity to Bucks, Alabama. SSEB and partnering organizations will complete permitting, characterization, and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) efforts, characterize the deep subsurface through seismic methods and drilling a deep characterization well, and receive a Class VI underground injection control (UIC) permit to construct. Parallel efforts include the development of a pipeline FEED study and a CO2 source feasibility study and implementation of a robust community benefits plan (CBP).

Project Benefits

The Longleaf CCS Hub will help manufacturers, industrial producers, and power generating facilities meet decarbonization goals in a cost-effective, responsible manner. At the same time, CCS projects such as this will bring economic benefits to the community, community-based organizations, and partnering academic institutions.
