(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – Saying it will help meet regional & state air quality standards, and create as many as 20 full time jobs, Calpine plans to submit permit applications as early as this week for California’s first ever carbon & capture storage instillation. This would be built at their current Sutter Energy Center, according to The Appeal-Democrat, which reports the CO2 would be stored “5,000 to 10,000 feet underground” at a site near Robbins, shipped through a new pipeline to be built “about 8 feet under the surface.”

Should the permit be granted, construction of the Sutter County carbon capture facility would begin next year of early in 2025.
