Trace Carbon Solutions is focused on developing Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) infrastructure to enable decarbonization of an array of large-scale industrial emissions. Trace’s combined experience across engineering design, infrastructure construction and operations, subsurface characterization, and commercial development enables us to manage all components of the CCS value chain. Our team is dedicated to providing the most reliable CCS solutions at scale and in a safe and cost-efficient manner.
Carbon Capture Explained
Each year, more than 6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide is emitted into the air in the US.* Industries that power our day-to-day life - transportation, power generation, agriculture, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals - are all challenged to adapt to operating in a cleaner way.
Carbon capture and sequestration is the use of technology and best practices to capture carbon emissions during the industrial process, before it reaches the atmosphere, and compress it into a form that can be safely and efficiently transported to permanent underground storage. The use of CCS can significantly reduce a facility’s carbon footprint and supports global initiatives to reduce emissions.

CO2 Capture
Trace oversees the development, installation, and operation of capture equipment, tailored to the emission source. We develop site-specific capture solutions for each industrial application spanning petrochemicals, power generation, and other post-combustion emissions sources.
Transportation
Trace can safely and effectively design, install and operate infrastructure to transport CO2 in a wide array of geographic areas and conditions. Our team can expeditiously navigate the environmental and regulatory complexities inherent in pipeline development.
Sequestration
Trace has leading subsurface characterization expertise and land management experience needed for optimal sequestration site selection and development at scale.
Making a Difference
Trace’s Evergreen Hub project has an estimated total sequestration capacity of over 250 million metric tons of CO2. For some context, this is equivalent to the emissions from:
628
natural gas-fired power plants in one year
66.9
coal-fired power plants in one year
31,508,405
homes' energy use for one year
55,632,570
gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year
0
barrels of oil consumed
