October 2024: A Historic Approval
By October, we reached a monumental milestone! The Kern County Board of Supervisors approved the conditional use permit for CRC’s Carbon TerraVault I project. This victory was powered by hundreds of supporters who made their voices heard, demonstrating the power of our community's collective action.
September 2024: A Step Toward Innovation
In September 2024, the Kern County Planning Commission recommended approval for California’s first carbon capture and storage project, Carbon TerraVault I (CTV I). This recommendation marks a pivotal step toward sustainability and innovation, all while strengthening Kern County’s economy and job market.
What This Means for Kern County
The approval of CTV I is more than just a win for carbon capture technology; it’s a vital step in securing Kern County’s leadership in the clean energy sector. This project will not only advance sustainability but also provide economic benefits through job creation and long-term resilience.
Thank You to Our Community!
This success wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless support of our community. Your contributions made all the difference, and together we are forging a path toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
