Congratulations to SCS’s Carbon Capture and Sequestration clients for winning two international awards. The Climate Change Business Journal (CCBJ) is a publication of Environmental Business International (EBI). EBI is a leading independent source of environmental market research and business intelligence. SCS’s work for two clients, Pelican Renewables and Graphyte Carbon Removal, is recognized by CCBJ for its climate change industry achievements. Both awards will be presented during the EBJ Awards banquet at Environmental Industry Summit XXIII on April 3, 2025.
CCBJ PROJECT MERIT AWARD: COMMUNITY CLIMATE MITIGATION
Pelican Renewables & SCS Engineers
Pelican Renewables, LLC is a Stockton, California-based company with a vested interest in improving the life of all Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta residents and preserving the unique ecosystem of the Delta. Formed by residents, landowners, farmers, and businessmen, Pelican aims to serve both climate mitigation and the local environment and communities. Pelican collaborates closely with local community organizations and members to pioneer a community-focused project design and operation. Pelican is developing a carbon sequestration hub on the island of Rindge Tract, approximately 7 miles from Stockton. Rindge Tract lies on the deep-water shipping channel connecting the Port of Stockton to the ocean, enabling maritime transport for captured CO2. Pelican owns an ethanol production plant at the port where CO2 is captured and accessible by rail. The U.S. Department of Energy selected Pelican for a $45 million federal award under the CarbonSAFE program. SCS Engineers provides engineering and scientific analyses, geologic site characterization, and modeling to support Pelican’s EPA Class VI permit application that the grant targets.
CCBJ TECHNOLOGY MERIT AWARD: CARBON REMOVAL
Graphyte Carbon Removal & SCS Engineers
Graphyte Carbon Removal, a carbon removal and sequestration firm backed by Bill Gates’s Breakthrough Energy Ventures, began operations at its Arkansas-based plant in February 2024. Graphyte’s carbon sequestration solution’s price is considerably lower and can work faster than other sequestration solutions. The carbon block solution is also scalable and can potentially remove billions of tons of carbon. By-products of the timber and agriculture industries, otherwise burned or left to decompose, are collected. These by-products are considered biomass, dried to stop decomposition, and then condensed into dense blocks. The blocks are wrapped with an impermeable polymer sheet, making them environmentally safe and ensuring that decomposition does not restart. The blocks are stored in state-of-the-art sites with sensors and tracers, enabling robust long-term monitoring. Storage sites can serve multiple purposes, such as solar farms or agricultural land, and are designed to last up to 1,000 years. As experts in designing and implementing safe, long-lasting solutions that reduce, reuse, or store waste, SCS Engineers partners with Graphyte by providing environmental engineering design services with Tracer and RMC technology for its storage facilities.
