The two companies said they will evaluate the possibility of a joint venture to develop a direct air capture hub in South Texas, with XRG considering investing up to $500 million.
Across Texas, abandoned wells are erupting with chemical-infused liquid and some have created massive lakes of contaminated water. Regulators say they need more money to address the problem.
The company has transformed its former Genesis platform into an artificial reef for marine life off the coast of Louisiana.

The volume reduction of naturally occurring radioactive material waste with indirectly heated vacuum distillation has been overlooked in research as a viable treatment option. This paper describes several key assessment factors that will allow a more detailed understanding of the benefits of that option.
