California’s First Carbon Capture Project

California Resources Corporation has launched its first carbon capture project, Carbon Terravault I, in Kern County, aiming to store up to 38 million tons of CO2—though it’s just getting started. The facility, designed to help industries meet emissions targets under California’s carbon neutrality goals, could be part of a larger network storing 350 million tons more in the Central Valley. But critics are raising alarms: some see carbon capture as a fossil fuel industry loophole, not a real climate solution, and demand greater transparency on monitoring, real-time data, and oversight to ensure community safety.
