據油氣新聞網8月24日報道，美國石油生產商西方石油公司（Occidental Petroleum Corp)將于今年秋天開始建設其首個碳捕獲項目，這是該公司打造溫室氣體減排業務努力的關鍵部分。

西方石油負責監管和土地事務的副總裁Tom Janiszewski在科羅拉多州石油天然氣協會年度峰會上表示，西得克薩斯的設施將到2024年開始運營。

西方石油公司旗下的低碳風險投資有限責任公司（Low Carbon Ventures LLC）與風險投資公司如欣資本管理公司（Rusheen capital Management）組建了1PointFive，為直接空氣捕獲（DAC）技術提供許可、融資和部署，這種技術是一種從大氣中提取二氧化碳的方法。

西得克薩斯設施的確切位置尚未確定，但西方公司已為埃克托縣的一個項目申請了稅收抵免。該公司還正在評估路易斯安那州利文斯頓教區的一處場地，以進行獨立的DAC運營。

Occidental to break ground on carbon capture project

US oil producer Occidental Petroleum Corp will begin construction on its first carbon capture project this fall, an official told an industry group, a key part of its effort to build a business from greenhouse gas reduction. 

Tom Janiszewski, vice president of regulatory and land for Occidental, told the Colorado Oil and Gas Association's annual summit that the West Texas facility would begin operations by 2024. 

Occidental's Low Carbon Ventures LLC arm formed 1PointFive with venture capital firm Rusheen Capital Management to license, finance and deploy direct air capture (DAC) technology, a method of extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 

The precise location for the West Texas facility has not been identified, but Occidental has applied for tax credits for a project in Ector County. The business also is evaluating a site in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, for a separate DAC operation.
