Salt Lake City-Blue Source LLC, an aggregator of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction offsets and the leading developer of anthropogenic (man-made) carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, on Aug. 21 announced that it has signed an exclusive agreement with Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers LLC, under which it will work to develop CCS options for the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced at Coffeyville’s petroleum coke gasification-based ammonia and UAN facility located in Coffeyville, Kan. Blue Source will work to develop options to sequester Coffeyville’s produced CO2, with particular focus on securing a market for the CO2 within the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) industry. Blue Source said Coffeyville produces a high purity CO2 in quantities that are of strong interest to the EOR market. When sequestered, this CO2 will reduce GHG emissions by more than 650,000 mt/y, and will enhance the nation’s domestic oil supply. Blue Source said it or its management team have designed, constructed, owned, and/or operated, in one form or another, all of the anthropogenic CO2 pipelines for EOR use developed in North America in the last 20 years.
