U.S. EPA Approves Air Permit for Sequestration at Oxy's Texas DAC Project

April 11, 2025--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently approved Occidental Petroleum Corporation's (NYSE:OXY) (Houston, Texas) final air permits to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from its STRATOS direct air capture (DAC) facility in Ector County, Texas, which is on track to start commercial operations in 2025. But the EPA approval comes as the Trump administration could modify, or void, the agency's 2009 finding that CO2 poses a danger to public health.
