The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has granted Texas its first permit for carbon dioxide injection, allowing Occidental's Oxy Low Carbon Ventures to drill three wells in Ector County to store 8.5 million metric tons of CO2. This move aligns with efforts to reduce emissions and support carbon capture technologies, although concerns about its environmental impacts, such as potential earthquakes, have emerged. There's also uncertainty regarding the future of federal subsidies for these projects as political supports shift.
