Tallgrass Selects Project Canary for Monitoring, Assessment of Commercial-Scale CO2 Sequestration Hub in Wyoming

LEAWOOD, Kan. & DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tallgrass has entered an agreement with Project Canary to develop a program for the independent monitoring and sequestered carbon volume verification at its Eastern Wyoming Sequestration Hub project, the companies announced today.

The agreement between the two firms advances Tallgrass’ commercial-scale sequestration hub project previously announced in January and builds on the relationship established between Project Canary and Tallgrass in 2021 through the Rockies Express Pipeline.

“Precise measurement and validation of sequestered volumes is a critical component of a successful, commercial-scale CO2 sequestration hub,” said Kyle Quackenbush, Tallgrass Segment President. “Project Canary and its team of climate scientists and engineers provide critical expertise in this project’s development, which will help advance broadly shared decarbonization and clean energy goals.”

As part of the project, Tallgrass plans to drill a characterization well and Project Canary, the Denver-based environmental assessment ESG data firm, will deploy Canary X continuous emissions monitoring units and conduct additional periodic reservoir analysis at the project site to verify carbon dioxide volumes remain permanently sequestered. The high-fidelity, laser-based continuous monitoring units have a detection level as low as <1ppm and report data simultaneously to a cloud-based monitoring dashboard.

“The Tallgrass team demonstrates what the net-zero measurement economy demands – bold action to verify that every molecule of CO2 put underground stays underground. Their leadership is what a net-zero future needs,” said Chris Romer, CEO and co-founder of Project Canary. “Advancing assessment across the entire energy value chain – from upstream production to midstream transportation and ultimately sequestration – has the potential to revolutionize decarbonization efforts and accelerate progress toward net-zero.”
